Anti-Christianist Soldier (and More)

THIS VIDEO is going around, and I think there's some good points made on JC Christian's post (where I first saw the vid). I think it's a riot.
We can see why some people would be upset. But is it really over what the girl is allowed to see and hear and wear? Or is it because for the first time (say hi, YouTube), we have widely-distributed (effectively created) media that points out some of our society's glaring moral contradictions? Points that undermine some of the right's supposed reasoning? So worried about what the girl hears, really? Are you serious, citizen? Have you paid attention to the neverending onslaught of media that attacks Woman in a hundred subtle ways, from the time they are small? Media that never lets up, until they are sticking fingers down their throat or cutting themselves up to become a patchwork doll, until they are killing themselves upon the altar of the Unattainable Everlasting Beauty? And do you not mind young girls and these perverted "Purity Ball" rituals? You do not mind making young girls Freaks for Jesus? Whatever.
I'm sure it's not freaking you out that there are people out there who see through your entire dogmatic delusion and are vaccinating their kids against it.
On a less disgusted note, and a bit more of a personal tip I have to say that watching the girl's mugging for the camera and her dressup style and haircut, I was reminded a little bit of someone else:
My daughter (the "is she Asian?" one, and no, she's mexican/german/romanian/polish, and scottish/english), Rainsong. A fun and kind person (a great actress, también), and a beautiful heart.
Thanks for indulging my photo album moment. I miss her.
These were taken in late 2000. I won't post recent photos of her, to remain cautious. But she is a bit older now, at 13. I actually have pics that her and my ex-girlfriend took, dressing up for the camera where she has a very similar outfit, long gloves and all. These are not those pics, but to bolster Señor JC Christian's point, I can vouch that she loved that getup, too.
in "dress up" clothes in these, and playing Zelda!
and for fun.
Hope it wasn't too jarring to mix these two subjects together on a tangential similarity. But if you saw the fun my daughter and I used to have using the video camera where she would play "Newscaster" wearing my shirt and ties, or our "run around the yard while we film ourselves" afternoons, you'd understand a bit more of my mental connection.
