Who says kids have no ambition?

[Senator Jack]

Keep reaching for the stars, kid. Keep reaching for the stars.

One day, he may even be the president. Or maybe not, if he's convicted of any of these wishful charges.

 

[Doh!]

Is a seventh-grader too old to spank?

 

[Steve]

Would it really be so bad if he took out Oprah?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Strange that a 7th grader has so much hate - seems awfully young to me. What age is 7th grade? 12? 13? At that age i hated the school bully, but corporations? The President?

Oh, wait. Now i remember. I hated Margaret Thatcher by that age.

I think the Harpo Secret Service will soon be knocking on your front door!

 

[jamespowers]

Perfect example of the kind of kids parents who hated Margaret Thatcher have.

Not at all..not at all.

I agree that is young to verbalize such thoughts. 7th grade would be 12 years old. I have a son in the 6th grade. If that kind of nonsense ever came out of his mouth, my foot would be in his rear end.

As for lunch he would most likely just pick something out of the snackfood section at Walgreens while he was there.

With a Coke.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

... And the latest Oprah's book club offering along with a Harper's. It all comes into focus.

But what? No one thinks that if a colonial 12 year old had the opportunity to slit King George III's throat he wouldn't have done it? The Brits were the enemy and KG their monarch - any sort of Johnny Tremaine patriot would surely have taken a cutthroat to the old madman.

Some kids are born rebels, and not only that, they're old souls who were in some other life fighting the fascists, storming the Bastille, or generally usurping a throne at some time, somewhere in the name of the people. Though we're not embroiled in a physical civil war, there is large portion of the population that feels we're in a psychological civil war. The government, the Waltons, the buffoons like Oprah, are on one side - the people who have had enough of this idiocy are on the other. Yeah, the kid may be dangerous, but I can't argue his choice of targets.

Another born rebel,

Of course, if he becomes President first, then he wouldn't have to worry about being convicted.

At least he has goals...

Here's an interesting thought...

What if the same kid had done his essay but replaced the names with..

Saddam Hussein
Al Qaeda
Osama bin Laden

would everyone be so upset?

What??
It requires a certain mind set to be able to deliberately slit a person's throat. I certainly hope not too many 12 year olds have that capability. Of course, with the secular value systems we have these days, who knows? I doubt if that mind set amongst 12 year olds was all that prevalent back in the 1770's.
It seems odd that a 12 year old would dream that stuff up himself. That kind of bitterness at that age is taught. He's probably nothing more than a good listener.

So you're saying that Oprah, Walgreens, Walmart and Coca Cola are more dangerous to the US than Saddam Hussein, Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden? Boy I sure am afraid of Coca Cola blowing up my town or weapons of mass Walmart. :kick:
