I do appreciate that you've added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

You should get your facts straight before you try to influence small children's minds. I challenge you to produced actual facts for the various socialist propaganda your "film" is spewing. America is a wonderful country & you, although you have the right to say it, you do not have the right to go into public schools & preach your lies without parents being aware.

You see..Im a 25 year old girl that lost her faith in Man, I think that money is what makes decisions now a days and for that reason "they" don't wish for anything to change... so thank you...for showing me the hope for a peoples revolution on those whose the world comes last. On the so called "money lords". Im so tired of being a lab mouse for money!
