Egypt: 12 Y.O. Boy Discusses Revolutionary Politics

A 12 year old boy gives an insightful analysis of the political situation in Egypt.

Honestly, I don't know what to make of this. It sounds like this 12 year old has a better understanding of this mess than the vast majority of "experts", yet all these years on the internet have made me enough of a cynic to automatically assume that:

a) subtitles can be as manipulative as anything. For all I know, he could have been talking about Dwight Howard's move to Houston
b) cuts during an interview are often used to hide outrageous statements which contradict the intended message
c) there could be a puppeteer instructing him on what to say -- just like a politician

So, optimism (smart boy) or cynicism (mouthpiece)... *quality anyway.

Staged or not, the subtitles speak the sobering truth of the planet at-large. The difference between a kid with a head full of sports statistics and one abreast of regional religious extremes and government abuse is the difference between growing-up watching cartoons and playing XBOX and being raised amidst the sounds of mortars and helping your mother raise your siblings while dad is out chewing Khat and talking Muslim smack with his buddies.

What we need is an immediate alternative to fossil fuels in the form of unlimited free power and a worldwide routing of all assholes who hold the power now-In the next world war, the blood in the streets should only be blue.
