Since we’re all very deeply concerned with the issue of Somali Pirates now, I thought it would be a great opportunity to repost a video from a little while back about piracy, government thuggery, and the difference between them. Special guest star: Saint Augustine!
Please do not comment unless you accept the basic dignity, equality, and inherent worth of all people.
Freakin’ brilliant. Required viewing for all grade schoolers, and everyone else.
It’s suprising how much of a “lefty” St. Augustine was.
(Actually, it’s not at all surprising when one knows what a relatively recent phenomenon the Christian Right is.)
I am far too embarrassed to relate just how long it took me to realize that this was not, in fact, an actual Schoolhouse Rock segment. Perhaps I can just chalk it down to the brain-dulling meds I’m on? Please?
Awesomely done. The animation, music, lyrical style, and vocal style were all just perfectly spot-on.
