One Smart Kid
Hi Stile,
Nice story. I love the father's proud expression throughout the clip. "Look at my boy! He's on CNN! I'm so proud!". I like this kid. He won't stand up, put his hand on his heart and recite a pledge that he considers to be a lie. That shows real character, especially from a ten year old. Whether you agree with his views or not (and I most certainly do) you have to admire his taking a stand.
