re: #541 Walter L. Newton

You point made, but I was trying to make a point and I was trying to be argumentative and sarcastic. I will clarify. I don’t find it any problem to use children for political or religious purposes.

You may find that saying the exact opposite of your opinion with absolutely no hit that you’re being ‘sarcastic’ leads to people thinking that you hold that position. you know, because you’re saying it’s your position. When it has the effect of calling me a goddamn child abuser— as well as anyone else that’s ever given a child a voice in the political process— you can expect people to tell you to shove it.

I used a nine year old autistic boy to talk about conditions in the hospital/school he lives in. I had him speak about his experiences. I did so in order to make a political point.

Do you consider that ‘child abuse’? Do you think it was inappropriate for me to expose the lawmakers who decide things that affect this child to the child’s voice?
