(Excerpt)


Most children have the ability to exercise their imaginations to a more profound degree than their adult counterparts. Take, for instance, Flint, a fourth-grade student from Texas who was so impressed with a local weatherman who came to visit his school that he wrote an insanely-descriptive “thank you” letter. In it, he mentioned bacon, a tuxedo-wearing monkey, a cyborg unicorn and plenty more.

“You’re more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out [of] bacon riding a cyborg unicorn,” the young boy wrote to KVUE’s Albert Ramon. “Some day when I become supreme ultra-Lord of the universe, I will not make you a slave, you will live in my 200 story castle where unicorn servants will feed you doughnuts off their horns.”

By chance was this letter signed Barry Soetoro?

I was thinking more of Eric Cartman.

All i can say is that all the praise would evaporate faster than liquid nitrogen on a hot frying pan if the kid had drawn a nice pistol instead of a unicorn.
This kid is talking about making the world his slaves - but if he had written that he wanted his classmates to go away he would be "held" and his family and friends would be under investigation for his sociopathy.
Interesting how his praise for a career in which participants can be wrong more than half the time and still hold their jobs is lauded! If he had written this for a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan (or anywhere) his letter would have been torn to shred by a PC school board, and certainly never reported.

Just having a not-so-great day, sorry for the negativity.

Don't worry about it you made a very good point.

In reading the comments it is obvious that many think the letter was written by an adult. That is a possibility. But I believe it was written by a child. I believe the teacher just packed it in with all the other letters. It was not a homework assignment.

I know a young woman who wrote a letter to the editor when she was a sophomore when it was published many people wrote and said that it OBVIOUSLY hadn't been written by a high school student. She was pretty upset that she couldn't "prove" that she did (indeed) write it--without assistance from her parents. (And no, it wasn't me.)

Many times cynical people don't want to accept that children can do something at a young age that they can't--even now.

I write this, not KNOWING that it isn't a fake letter--because I am cynical. But I can believe that a fourth grader wrote it.

I'd believe it was real. My kids have written some pretty imaginative stuff, too.


mmmmmm.bacon...

It's not you. We live in a time when people hate honesty. If what you say is true, and they know and don't like it, you're "negative". Sad but true.
