That is utterly stupid.

And here I am, Steve, a patriotic American who does NOT believe this stupid little stunt has a damn thing to do with Obama, the Congress, Republicans versus Democrats, our system of government, or any lack of liberty. It has to do with petty little authoritarian people who find that they have a badge and cannot make discretionary decisions, it has to do with the asinine flourescent light/styrofoam drop ceiling-trapped bureaucrats who claim that dancing is demonstrating when in fact, it is dancing.

Within our beautiful country are many people who need to challenge the definitions we live under. I am one of them.

Well hell, if I was the head dude of the Park Police, I'd set up tables and offer refreshments. We all know misbehavior versus innocent brattiness. Some of the YouTube reader responses remind me of the deep South of the early 60's, just rage against youth.

Yes, it is sad. Some of the comments on youtube are sad.
It is really sad that we think we need such high levels of security there.
We need to reverse this direction we are heading.

Good news, it looks like it was dismissed, no fines, etc.
