You've Heard of the Terrible Twos...

how about the Sparring Sixes? Nono, I can do better than that--oh no shit I can't.

Just a little FYI in/re: an OMG!/WTF? bit of news from Florida related by Herbert in yesterday's Times. (Which, apparently, you can only find on Blogger, but that's another point entirely.) Not sure what this says about our society--or can I call it theirs? is this a Southern thing do you think?--but it says something. Arresting 6-year-olds, and throwing the book at them. This, in a society that does its best to teach us to avoid responsibility, Gonzales doing us the solid of noting that "mistakes were made" [oh but by whom? or did the mistakes make themselves, a something from nothing, proof of god!], a president who needs six years of thinking to come up with something he, maybe, wasn't right about, a society that uses the lawsuit as a first and often final means of deciding whose responsibility, exactly, it was to make it safely up the icy stairs (I'm talking to you John Edwards, you and your 11-bathroom mansion by the way].

Okay enough for now. I just wanted to make sure everyone out there was aware that in FL they're arresting 6-year-olds.
