I could not possibly be more disgusted with my fellow human beings and Chicagoans than I am right now.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

In good faith, you were given the opportunity to come together in (hopefully) celebration of a new era of hope in America, and the first thought to cross your polluted mind was "How can I convert this good will into cash/ass/drugs?"

YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Yes, yes ... I know. "Capitalism!" you'll say. "Supply and Demand!" you'll stammer. The truth is, these are the same weak arguments and excuses that have lead our nation to the verge of collapse.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN LISTENING.

True change will require each of us to take responsibility, to stop making the same mistakes, and to selflessly commit ourselves to working towards a better America. Senator Obama is only one man, and he would be the first to tell you that he cannot fix our nation on his own.

Real change will require each of us to choose a departure from the greed and selfishness of the past. These ticket sales, misguided profiteers, are an awful beginning.

YOU SHOULD REMOVE YOUR POSTINGS AND GIVE YOUR GUEST TICKETS AWAY.
