Brian, your evangelism is delightful, but the problem is, you seem to be confused about what people "need to know". You think they need to know about the bee here, on this thread- where people already know more than most people in the US. Fine. But what I am saying to you, is that people here know that there is indoctrination going on, and I'm not sure that this story particularly brings anything to the party- and since it's just an extension of the Mickey story, I don't see the big deal. We KNOW that suicide bombing is considered a legitimate expression of struggle by some people in the region, and that children are encouraged to venerate this type of action. The fact that one hateful message is replaced by another is hardly surprising, or very newsworthy. We all know that hate is a problem there. The problem, Brian, is not the ignorance of people here about children's TV characters, the problem Brian, is what do you do about the hate there? I don't think knowing about the bee is going to help with that problem. How you get "darkness is better than light" out of what I said is so stupid I really begin to get the feeling this is all pointless. How about logic is better than silliness? Or a little perspective is better than tangling yourself up in your own undies. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
