John Wiley Junior in the making?


I guess David Williams thinks he's a little John Wiley Price. He routinely shows up at Dallas City Council meetings to address them on topics such as school safety, bullying and domestic violence. David is 12 years old.

In the first place, the City Council is there to set city policy -- not to make sure men don't hit their wives and kids don't unmercifully tease each other at school. If there is a city policy that allows these things to happen, then certainly the council should change the policy. But domestic violence is already against the law, and parents and the school system should handle safety and bullying issues for their own kids.

David is learning the lesson that liberals want all people to learn -- you need the government to solve all your problems. So the media is heaping praise upon him as if he were some sort of prodigy. Fortunately, we still have a lot of people in this country who aren't mastering that lesson too well, and we can only hope that they pass down their values to their children.
