I can't tell you how sick I am of fake liberals telling people where to move. California fuckin' rocks, by the way.

Wow JBG, You clearly don't know those that you judge so harshly... though you do put yourself in the 'most of us' category justifies your right. Hope you're enjoying Round Rock (or that $650k south Austin home). Go on back to California, if you don't love freedom. (mte) -G

Actually, the real issue was a question the essay posed: whether a kid who's been chronically skipping school and "finds" a bullet should be trusted when he uses that as an excuse to leave school after being warned not to. Does the kid have credibility in such a case? Over the principal? Most of us apparently don't think so. Nor is it good that the kid is enabled by a codependent mom who blusters in his defense that, hey, it's OK he's screwed up--because, well, she doesn't think school hasn't contributed to the wonderful planning, marketing, and musical expertise she claims the kid has. No wonder the kid doesn't have much respect for authority. Or school. And marches around with adolescent Bush=Hitler signs.

They say that there are no squirrel-proof birdfeeders. Not because mankind doesn't have the finest scientists working on the problem. It's just that the squirrels think of nothing else all day every day. That's my perspective and I'm sticking to it.

People dream of living in Round Rock?! What? Terrible, terrible.

I agree with you and find it all quite amusing, although most 17 year olds are not nearly as well grounded or intelligent as I assume yours to be.

Funny because it's all so true.
