You Can't Mock the President or Say "Balls"
The following is a link to an essay written by a High School sophomore in Freyburg, Maine, as the essay part of the final exam in his English class. His teacher sent it to CounterPunch as an example of the uprightness of modern youth.

It can be found on www.counterpunch.org and it had me rolling on the floor laughing.


Here's the link:

4. Reminds me of Brando's soliloquy in Apocalypse Now
"We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
