Kelseyg rated 7 months ago- Why are people assuming someone made this kid hold this sign? She looks old enough (at least 12) to have political opinions, I certainly did at her age! Give her some credit, and be thankful some kids care enough to have opinions and aren't just apathetic about current events.

- The Seven Lessons I learned from the photo here follow: 1. Children can be easily manipulated. How much time, I wonder, has this girl taken to research this or any political issue into which her parents drag her? 2. People are easily manipulated. What do we pay attention to when one photo of a girl weighs almost evenly with reams of reports regarding the folly of our Iraq invasion? 3. You can make a photo look "classic" if you take a cue from the National Geographic of 2003's cover and get half a girl, with big eyes, with her head cocked at a slight downward and leftward angle, and, for good measure, make it monochrome. I did it with my hamster. It works. 4. Children view politicians as role models, good or bad, in the first place. I wonder where she learned the lesson to consider a President a role model in the first place? 5. 1-liner rhetoric is OK. 6. Pictures do not always have the worth of a thousand words. Signs, bumper stickers, badges, and those little edited picture things never have. 7. Teaching your kids how to involve themselves politically is OK. 8. Incompetence is OK. 9. Teaching your kids how to involve themselves politically is not OK.

- Reading through the commentary, and the photographer's rationales, with on-line references, is worthwhile.

- What I learned from BUSH 1. Lying is O.K. 2. Cheating is O.K. 3. Torture is O.K. 4. Taking people's rights is O.K. 5. Neglecting the poor is O.K. 6. Being a religious hypocrite is O.K. 7. Killing is O.K. 8. Incompetence is O.K. 9. Cronyism is O.K.

- Using Children to Protest - Is absolutely lame #1. #2. #3. Even if I agree with #1... Using your Children to push your agenda is kinda passe .... For ethical and more effective protesting -
- Consider boycotts on companies that benefit from and support the administration or issue your are interested in.
- Form an educated opinion - Do some research - and talk to people who represent both sides.

- The parent who got their kid to hold this sign up is tasteless. Maybe if she were a high school or college student, but bringing your little kids into this is horrible.
