Par-tee!

The latest headlines over here mostly revolve around one Corey Worthington; an otherwise unknown 16-year old boy in Victoria. 

His parents went away and left him alone for the weekend. What do you expect happened next?  

Well, duh! The kid threw a party and invited all his friends. Then they invited friends. Before you know it, there are 500 teenagers doing what teenagers do when the 'rents are away. Par-tee!

The police were called in due to alcohol, vandalism, and I presume noise complaints. The kid is now facing not only criminal charges, but a $20,000 fine for the excess police that were needed to clear things up. I guess he can forget about wiping up the spilt beer and keeping it a secret from his parents.

They found out on ABC news.

I saw this 'kid' on one of the nightly current affairs shows he is enjoying the notoriety and hero status. Other kids will be applauding him sadly.

I wonder what was worse for the parents?

1) Finding out via the ABC news

2) The $20,000 damage bill

3) The fact that after 16 years of parenting,they have raised a moron

It is inconceivable that a judicious observer from another solar system
would see in our species -- which has tended to be cruel, destructive,
wasteful, and irrational -- the crown and apex of cosmic evolution.
Viewing us as the culmination of *anything* is grotesque; viewing us
as a transitional species makes more sense -- and gives us more hope.
- Betty McCollister, "Our Transitional Species",
Free Inquiry magazine, Vol. 8, No. 1
