I don't think it's about "political innocence" at all. There is an age appropriate way to talk to kids about serious issues--that's more than fine; kids understand more than we know. And I think making a video with your kid is a great project. But maybe not in this iteration--these are not her own thoughts or words. There's no concern there, or really any indication that she's affected by it all. She's acting in a play--it might as well be Rapunzel to her.

Would I be right in saying that you think this because you disagree with them? Or would that be a dickhead thing to assume?

But wait, that would mean...

It was a question of general interest Flint, I've yet to watch the film though I do have stong views about immigration laws.

I have to admit - I did NOT watch the video ... I already know my views about anyone trying to justify a criminal act ... does not matter if it is a kid or an adult trying to convince me I should feel bad cause they are being held up to the laws.

Reminds me of the kids from around here who are hard core religious zealots who are telling the other 7 year olds why God may smite them.

First thought, You can see by the bloopers at the end how much the kid is suffering.:rolleyes:

I don't think she will grow up to be a hard edged political figure.


Second thought,Posting it on websites and then the ensuing gripe about it is a good way for it to go viral.

Worst case scenario. Samantha will continue to be a happy 7 year old spinning away and dad will take all the hits. I am sure he didn't know what he was doing. :rolleyes:

10 more years of propaganda should ensure that her destiny will be fulfilled.
