Just when you think that America has jumped the shark...That "We the people" has morphed into "Me, Myself and I" because "Greed is good" and "He who dies with the most toys wins"...
That a majority of citizens can ban together and take away or deny a minority their inalienable rights...
A young man like 10 year old Will Phillips comes along and reminds us of our values, our principles, our core belief in "liberty and justice for all."
If you havn't heard about Will and his refusal to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance in class until everyone in this country has equal rights - - until gays and lesbians are given the right to marry - - watch the video below. He was interviewed on CNN.
Will is a bold and brilliant person. And his dry and logical way of looking at the world points out just how silly certain arguments are. He makes me laugh.
Maybe we haven't jumped the shark after all...

On the one hand, I'll bet the poor kid gets all kinds of shit from his classmates for being sympathetic to gays and minorities.
On the other hand, they probably think it's really cool that he told the teacher to jump off a bridge.
My newest hero...
What a great kid!!!
DILF.
Doesn't this just go to show that when you use LOGIC instead of blind obedience, the truth shines bright and clear?
Oh, and his dad is woofy.
