Bet that frosts their buns!

A bunch of idiots trashed poet Robert Frost's former home at the Homer Nobel Farm in Ripton, Vermont. Frost spent many summers there, and the house is now owned by Middlebury College. Last winter, a Middlebury former employee held a party there for about 50 animals. They broke windows, antique furniture and china, discharged fire extinguishers, and vomited and urinated on the carpets. Most of them were charged with trespassing. Why they weren't charged with more than that, I can't imagine.

Twenty-five of those charged entered pleas. Their punishment -- they must take two classes on Robert Frost's poetry. I would consider that opportunity a reward, but then I am a human being who appreciates the genius of writers like Frost. Can you imagine this bunch of hyenas being forced to sit through poetry classes?

The judge in this case, is one naive soul -- he says, " . . .if these teens had a better understanding of who Robert Frost was and his contribution to our society, that they would be more respectful of other people's property in the future and would also learn something." Yeah, right!! The classes are not going to make silk purses out of these sow's ears. When all is said and done, the vandals will still be uncouth good-for-nothings -- Oh, but they'll be uncouth good-for-nothings who'll be able to recite the first line of "The Road Not Taken," and that will make all the difference.
