Reminds me of Isaiah 3:11-12

11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

I would agree.. I really believe we are witness to the birthing pains. The devil has sent the beast with wrath because he knows his time is short and he's pissed (paraphrased lol)

He ran unopposed so all he had to do is get one of his parents to vote for him and he's in. He's also just one member of a board not the lone individual so no problem with signing anything binding.

Doubtless. If I'd managed to get Canadians angry on one border, a Caravan headed towards the other, and I wasn't even inaugurated yet...I think I'd put down one food dish labeled "yes," another labeled "no," and let the German Shepherds run the country.

Worth a shot.

Hell, any of my dogs are more trustworthy than any a**wipe politician.

Yeh, was thinking about the same passage the other day.

He will probably run rings around the woman who wouldn't issue marriage licenses...

Have you met many 17 year olds?

Were you ever 17?

I was 17. And could be entrusted with any task I was assigned.

You folks are acting as if some level of competency is required to be elected.

How many decades have you been asleep?

Absolutely. Besides, no one has established that the kid is NOT competent for the job.

Unfortunately, you are the exception not the rule.

Same. I was selling shoes for a Gallenkamp Shoe store at the time and even had the assistant manager tell me that the manager would make me an assistant (or give me my own store) if only I was 18.
