My 7th grader's political comment in social studies class... |
|
The substitute teacher, after talking about how weak America was following the Revolutionary War, asked the class how the country became so strong after such an inauspicious start. After a few replies from various students about a strong constitution and good government, my son said: "Because we invade third-world countries and steal their oil." Apparently everyone laughed, including the teacher--surprising since we live in freeperland.

Kudos to your 7th grader. But I'll bet there was one lone student that didn't think it was funny. :)

3. Oh, I bet plenty of freepers would laugh at that, too. |

Smirking laughter of approval. Isn't it funny how all those poor people have the nerve to live on top of our oil?
