Contrasts

The Bee had a story this morning about a student at McClatchy who was briefly questioned by the Secret Service about a comment she made on a My Space website to Kill Bush. The tenor of the story was that this intrusion was somehow inappropriate. Perhaps, it was.

But here is the contrast. This young student thought it appropriate to post on a public site pictures of the president being stabbed. Her parents both thought the depiction was inappropriate. But one said, "I think they should have had the parents present when she was questioned."

I will guarantee you that both parents oppose the measure on the ballot which would require parental notification before a minor child seeks an abortion.
