The journey from there to here

Bakerstreet's article on the Gaede twins was appropriately timed, as I had just read about them for the first time.

For those who don't know, the Gaede twins are blonde haired blue eyed singers from a white supremacist family whose views are expressed in their songs, which include a tribute to Rudolph Hess. The thing is, they're 13, and have basically been taught these views from birth by their parents.

I'm not a fan of using children as tools for political expression in manners such as this. The views they are espousing are not necessarily theirs, but those of their parents.

BUT, parents teaching their children these views ARE protected by the First Amendment. As well they should be.

Because, you see, the first amendment also supports my right to say that, in a perfect world, these parents would be forcefully deprived of their genitals, which would then be fed to starving bandicoots! (NOTE: The preceeding sentence was meant for satirical purposes only and not meant to imply any threat to the Gaede family!)

I dont get the Rudolph Hess thing.  He was #3 under hitler and then parachuted into England to try to get a peace.  He was of course imprisoned, and then spent his last years in Spandau after the war.  I guess he was either caught by his guilt, and therefore no model for a bunch of neo nazis, or a fruitcake.

So what are they celebrating?  They are fruitcakes?  Or they really dont want to hate?

I had not thought of that!  2 whacked sides balancing in the middle!  We can hope!

You know Gid I didn't see this article before. I submitted a blog I wrote about them yesterday because I probably saw the same program they were featured on television. They're quite an innovative team aren't they?

Maybe they will be "normal" by the time they get to college. If they're allowed to get there with all that exposure to others, they might get sick, then what would their parents do?!
