Writing Stories about Zombies is a felony in Kentucky

He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class.

Were they a member of the Hitler-Jugend(sp?) or something and trying to relive the good old days?

King could afford it, although most of his cash probably did not come from The Running Man.

"Kafka-esque"

would've been too unbelievable if Kafka had written it. He would never have been able to make the present day america sound plausible in his time and place.

It's hyper-kafkan.

I don't think my old high school self would've even made it in the door of the new Freedom Fortresses--err schools.

Just think how much 'better' things are going to be when the likes of Scalia are considered 'centrist' in american justice.

And people act all surprised when american youth responded to that survey about censorship with the majority saying that materials shouldn't be published without government approval. You put kids in an HJ environment, you get HJs. Garbage in...

Geeze kids, that government is your enemy, it is out to get you, it is trying to conspire against you and oppress you in everyway, it is devoting enormous amounts of energy to social engineering and mind control, the government is the central problem of youth today. It may sound like a conspiracy, but then history is full of real conspiracies. There are a lot of people, powerful people, who are threatened by things like free speech, free thought, free thinking....they want to **** YOU UP and **** YOU OVER, youth of today! They really do want to control your lives and police your minds, in what you think, say, wear, eat, listen to, associate with, read. There is nothing sacred to these totalitarians who are ruining our western civilization, nothing at all.

I can see such talk as a useful propaganda to spark interest for politics among teenagers, but are you really believing this?

[Seeker]

no, not really

Government's aren't the enemy, it's the voters who elect them.

[Shi Huangdi]

This is just unbelievable.

in a red state, no less...

I reserve judgment until we see at least some excerpts of the story in question. All we know from the article is that the kid's grandparents were spooked enough to turn their own flesh and blood in to the police. That could point to stupid/paranoid grandparents, or to something else that the boy's just downplaying after the fact. I'm not so eager to condemn Southerners that I'll cast a vote on that evidence.

/me think Elok has never been in highschool, and has never read a word of fiction

[alva]

One needs to go to highschool to read fiction?

Surely in the US you get bible-class in junior* school?!
