The City of Dallas put together a concert and fireworks show for the 4th of July weekend at Fair Park. Part of the show involved a laser light show reflecting off the dancing waters of the fountain and pool on the esplanade.
Gerald Lindsey didn't like that. There were a bunch of kids playing in the fountain when he arrived. Before the show began, the police moved the children out of the water. After all, the fountains were an integral part of the show the people had come to see. But Gerald thinks the children should have been allowed to play there, so we must assume that he feels they should have cancelled the show. Gerald says, "The sight of happy children splashing in water is more beautiful than any set of synchronized squirting fountains, and the sound of children laughing as they play is more beautiful than any concert. But maybe I am just old-fashioned."
Well, Gerald, I don't really know whether or not old-fashioned has anything to do with it, but you are kinda' stupid!

Aw, there's nothing more heartwarming than kids that misbehave in public!
