Jory John from 826 Valencia has a cute op-ed in the NYT today, collecting letters from kids to Obama. Some of the material is to be expected - "Make students get extra credit for everything" - but then John found the world's youngest conspiracy theorist, who is clearly watching as much X-Files as my brother and I did at his age:
Dear Pres. Obama,I love the idea of Obama dramatically revealing the decades-long coverup to the nation, and then proceeding to travel to Groom Lake and personally end the alien menace. Good call, Edwin.Good job on winning. I heard about Area 51. I wanted to ask you if there are any U.F.O.’s there. I think that you should tell people in public the truth about Area 51. You would just maybe say, “That we will take care of it.” And do it.
