Remember when Pope JPII visited Los Angeles and Tony Melendez who was born with no arms — strummed the guitar with his feet and sang? He was Los Angeles Archdiocese’s courage present to the Pope. The Pope stepped off the stage and kissed Tony on the forehead. Quite a difference.

I watched my recording of it again last night. Did anyone else notice the child prodigy piano player, another adorable Chinese girl, was not playing the piano. Just waving her hands clumsily over the keys. And the man playing the piano next to her could also not have been playing because his hands were no where near the notes being played. Someone who knew how to play the piano would fake it better than that. He looked like a Chinese version of Liberachi. Had the hair right and everything. I think he was hand picked as well, because he looked like what they think we expect a piano player to look like.

IMHO, BOTH these children were abused.

thank you!

No, I didn’t notice it. Nice catch.

What a sad commentary on the postmodern embrace of the superficial.

No doubt the Chinese will eliminate such “defects” prenatally - by abortion - as they acquire DNA testing technology from the West.

A scene straight out of GATTACA.

I said postmodern? Perhaps posthuman would be more accurate.

the funniest thing I thought was the outrage of the news anchors, who were reading what someone more intellignet but not as photogenic had written on the teleprompter for them to read

LOL! You make an excellent point! Same is true of course for The Messiah.
