this is very much in-line with the mentality of ppl in small towns. they have a tendency to have a chip on their shooulders about the world - how the world sees them and how they see the world. and you better agree with them or face their fury. i'm a city girl, so when i went to my small college town (10,000 students. and they said the town had 16,000 residents. i bet 10,000 of those were students. :p) and then on to the couple of military towns i've lived in with my husband, i couldn't believe how wound up ppl are about their hometowns. for the most part, no one cares. and if ppl got out more, they'd see that.

this prinicipal, the school, the school district and newspaper SHOULD be sued. now, i DO think that the principal and newspaper did violate some copyright laws in taking what the original poster said and spreading it all over the place without her, or at the very least, myspace's express permission. if no copyright laws were violated, than fine. but the FAMILY'S privacy rights were violated. the father can get them for causing them to lose his livelyhood and the lil sister can get them for blocking her access to an education that is harrassment free. i think the original poster was on to something when she wrote about how much this place sucked. Lord knows i wouldn't want to live anywhere like that, esp in light of how ppl responded to her posting,

small towns, for the record, not everyone thinks the place is heaven. some ppl do think it sucks. some are trying to change that, others are not. but it's nothing to get your panties in a bunch about! ppl are entitled to their opinions. you are entitled to disagree with them. and you all need to get over yourselves! :p
