I sure hope this isn't a case of grown-ups exploiting children, the way the liberals do when they send kids on protest marches and sit-ins at state capitols, etc.

They almost certainly are. There's no way in heck that they did this on their own intitiative because this is a belief they themselves hold. Far more likely, they're like the ubiquitious kids I see at anti-abortion rallies - there because Mommy is an activist. They may not even understand the issue.

I will mention that, judging from the way these kids are dressed, it's pretty apparent they're not your run-of-the-mill teens. They may "understand" the issue as well as the average emotion-fueled onlooker.

Regardless, I would not allow my kids to do this. Kids do not belong in the middle of this. They belong on the sidelines, either listening to or watching their parents take their stand on the front lines.

Just because you do not understand the principle in this issue doesn't mean that these young children do not.

They know instinctively that it is wrong to starve someone and deny them water.

What happened to you that you can't understand or care?
