Mere lads their princes

In Hillsdale, Michigan, an 18-year-old teenager has just been elected (Broken link, active November 20, 2005) mayor of the city. The first thing I thought of was, “And I will make mere lads their princes, and capricious children will rule over them,” (Isaiah 3:4-5) which is a curse God pronounced over Jerusalem for departing from His ways. Hillsdale is home to Hillsdale College, one of the finest private colleges in the nation.
