The Pendragon's Hall

Julia Wilson is only the latest proof that American high schoolers are bloody idiots. The 14-year-old posted a photo of the President to MySpace with "Kill Bush" and a picture of a dagger scrawled across it. When Secret Service agents took her out of school and questioned her, Wilson whined that they were "unnecessarily mean" and they should have recognized that she was no threat, because she was "a peace-loving person" with a heart on her backpack. Well, of course, the instant messages and emails of Congressman Foley are fair game for inspection, but the MySpace rants of an idiot teenager are off-limits, even when breathing out death threats. Would Wilson have carried through and killed the President? Of course not. She's a little pansy trying to impress her peers with how into current events she is. But it is time the youth of this nation realize that while they are free to say whatever they want, they are also free to suffer the consequences, even if that is the humiliation of questioning by the Secret Service from school.
