Is David Hogg fair game for critics?

The young fellow survived a terrible attack and has made himself something of a celebrity since.  He is certainly free to express his opinions in as pithy a fashion as he sees fit.  Perhaps his parents will have something to say about it, but this is between them. 

That said, the young mister should understand that Free Speech works both ways and acts as a crucible to test one's words and ideas.  He might not like it at first, but it will help to sharpen his arguments and make him a better leader, should he decide to go down that path.

Young Mr. Hogg's sudden rise reminds us of that cult 1960's film classic, "Wild In The Streets."  In case you don't remember, were too young, or not yet born...

Hey... mercy camps...

See, nothing new.  We learn and then forget and then relearn all over again.  Like a dog chasing its tail or, if you are of a more artistic frame of mind, A Dance to the Music of Time.
