http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060202/ap_en_tv/faust_video I have to wonder what is wrong with most people.  Faust has been around for almost a thousand years as a play (ok, at least as long as Shakespere has been around) Yet, here are some comments that are being made: "Any adult with common sense would not think that video was appropriate for a young person to see. I'm not sure it's appropriate for a high school student," Robby Warner said after two of her children saw the video. Another parent, Casey Goodwin, said, "I think it glorifies Satan in some way." Faust glorifies Satan?  No, actually it points out the stupidity of man, but perhaps there are some people that just do not like being told they are stupid.  Scary, but true. 12:05:14 PM    comment []
