Does it take a child to open our eyes?
From Political Waves.com
Yesterday, CNN had a fifteen year-old girl on, a youngster who has gotten a lot of blogger attention. The anchor, a woman who is pretty and vapid, chided her for having created both the following video [and many others, listed on her website]. I urge you to open it ... if you have dial up, it's well worth the few minutes it will take to load -- you will cry, but you will be glad you saw what this young American has done.

"Now, AVA! What were you THINKING when you selected that music to go with those pictures?" the anchor asked. "I was thinking we are all God's children," she replied. This youngster, Ava Lowerey from Alabama, was invited to participate in the Kos convention [a convention of progressive Democrats]. "Do you think they were USING you?" asked the flighty anchor.
"Maybe," replied Ava, "but I was using them to get my message out."
That's myth-busting, dearhearts -- that children aren't impacted by this war, that young people aren't engaged in political realities, that all kids think about are visits to malls and making calls on their cells, that "values" are the property of the Right.
Ava's animation is our sorrowful reality and her conscience, ours -- visit her website after you watch it, see some of the other things she's produced.
