Acting like the very children you wish to teach

The correct, diplomatic way of asking two kids to stop discussing hunting:

"Guys, I think that's an interesting story, but a little bit too graphic for other kids. You can still discuss it, but please talk quietly, or perhaps talk about it later."

The incorrect, childish, selfish, immature way of asking two kids to stop discussing hunting:

"LALALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW IF YOU KILLED BAMBI OR NOT! I HIKED, I STRIPPED NAKED AND WORSHIPPED GAIA, I'M BETTER THAN YOU, LALALALA!"

And yes, it was in the New Upper West Side Socialist Nation of Vermont, where hunting is still acceptable, except you can't run over deer or bears with your Prius.

Update: Newsbusters also follows the story with one really good quote from Okie:

And who's the 10 year old here?

The teacher covering up her ears and saying "la la la la la la".

The woman is an idiot. I hope she gets fired for stupidity. (emphasis mine)

Vermont - home of the Upper West Side Red Diaper Baby diaspora

A real fair trade: arrest Bush, collect one way ticket back to the Upper West Side -furnished apartment and organic vegan goodies gratis. That way, the state of Vermont can finally purge itself of its faux-radicals and wannabe revolutionaries and return to its former state, free of nanny state busybodies slapping "No War for Oil" on their $60k Beemers and considering non-white persons who dare step into their co-operative automatic shoplifters.

Besides, these twits don't realize that habeas corpus works both ways. It would be very much illegal to arrest someone if they didn't commit a crime - and being pissed because the President didn't visit your state isn't that much of a criminal offense. Consider it a complement he didn't bring tanks and troops in.
