Satire at Its Best

Happy Study Break Number 1.  I'm far into Criminal Procedure II studies at this moment, (the last flash-card written stated, 'to Prosecute or not to Prosecute') but took a little facebook/youtube break because I'm convinced that if I didn't, the world would stop spinning... Well, my social world, at least.

My fabulous friend posted this on his facebook wall and I couldn't help but click and watch.  The clip is a  little political/social humor; and a lot of a really good message.  I'm sick and tired of all sorts of people being treated differently because of their background, religion, sexual orientation, race, socio-economic standing, what-have-you.  I hate the ironic stance that so many politicos take on the topic of gay marriage.  I think that the kid in the clip points out some of those ironies in a very eloquent, albeit amateur way.



P.S. Closing Arguments in Perry v. Schwarzenegger are set for June 16th of this year.  This is likely to be a landmark cases addressing Prop 8, same-sex marriage, and the laws that ban it.  Read (and think) about the case here or here.
