Move on with your life and stop proofreading what one posts.

My life is moving on just fine, thank you. I make comments regarding his spelling because of his claim of being able to teach his children everything they need to know with home schooling. Mispelled words are out of control in our society right now, and whether you think it's no big deal or not, it is a reflection of poor education, IMHO.

No offense, but that has to be about the stupidest thing I've ever read...

Now I've seen it all...

I agree with them. Seriously stupid comment.

I work in public schools, my kids go to public schools (and always will), and at my school I hire ONLY people who have passed FBI / Highway Patrol background checks (as required by law) and that convince me in person, AND through in-depth reference checks that they are good people.

Just a thought... if you're that upset about public schools, then DO SOMETHING about it. Run for the school board, volunteer, whatever. If there's a problem let's fix it for ALL our kids.

Why run for the board, when I do not send my children to the schools. I vote down every referendum that they try to get passed. I belive that everything my child needs to learn, I can teach them, and then more. Talk to the children at public schools, and ask them about the Challenger, and what it meant to the schools when It happened. 90% of the children will ask you , "Challenger, whats the Challenger". That right there is so wrong.. Back in 1986, when my Neice and Newphew were in grade school, That was the biggest thing of the year, no matter if you were in Kindergarten, or in College. They do not teach the children what they need to know.. They do not teach them what is going on over in the Middle East, They do not know that we are NOT welcomed over there. We are sending our CHILDREN over there to fight something that the people over there need to be taking care of themselves. I went through it during Vietnam. I lost many good friends for another war that we should have not been in, and something that they can never give back are my friends.

Im sorry if I am ranting, But i am a big beliver that public schools are a big evil in this world. Just watch the first few minutes of Micheal Moores Farenheight 9/11.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE SOME OF YOU THAT JUMP ON THE BAND WAGON ABOUT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM COMPLAIN ABOUT A THREAD BEING HIJACKED BY THE BN BLACK SHEEP - WELCOME TO THE BLACK SHEEP CLUB


Ok now that I have your attention and possibly p*** some of you off the fact of the matter (and the apparent gist of ABF's initial post) is the cost of attending a Buffett concert is simply outrageous!!!! When ticket prices more that double in one year for some areas SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE. Geez he's always thanking us parrotheads that gave him his sumer job for 30 years. Wow what a way to thank us - select venues to play at where ticket prices are so outrageous we can't even attend a show. People realize some of us are being f*cked royally this year. Hell the ticket prices I saw for Philly are more than what I paid for the freaking hotel for Nissan last year. For years I've said that if I attend but one concert a year it's going to be Buffett. Well I'm now looking into other performers because Buffett obviously dosn't give a rat's ass about the "little man" that helped put him where he is today.

I'm not talking the fact my first Buffett experience was 99 cents - I'm talking an area that sees a 25% or greater ticket price in one year. Your everything is more expensive theory is really moot when you're talking a substancial increase in ticket price that is brought on by either the performer/management/venue/promoter's greed.

I respectfully disagree, and think:

Yesterday's over our shoulder
We can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong

Is it greed, or is it rising costs? I respectfully disagree again.

That's the rule in every venue I've ever been to - you leave, you're history.
