A Perspective Lacking Teen Contemplates Navel

LGF carries the story of a self-absorbed teen pondering the bigger picture in the Central Connecticutt State College newspaper:

As of late, if you were to bring up the president in a discussion you would find that many Americans disapprove of the decisions he has made. At the same time, Osama bin Laden presents many good arguments against the president and many of his reasons for disapproving of Bush are similar to those of anti-Bush Americans. Would it be wrong to assume that there is some kind of connection between feelings of the American people and those of Osama bin Laden? As I would love to make this connection, I ultimately cannot because of the actions of our president. If I were to say I agree with bin Laden, that would mean that I agree with a terrorist; under the Patriot Act, I could be labeled a potential terrorist and my phone could be tapped, and every move I make could be watched and analyzed.

Don't kid yourself; you aren't that important.

Next he asks and answers the question: Who is scarier, Osama bin Laden or President Bush? Guess which one he picks? Given what they are teaching in college these days, is it any wonder?
