"Earth" is no longer a suitable name for our planet.
We should re-name ourselves Ponzi..
If Pluto can be downgraded from planet to space rock, surely we could change our name

A twelve year old speaking to the UN about the condition of our world.
Favorite line: You adults don't know how to fix these things, so quit breaking them.

5. Kids always speak the truth, don't they?
During the '00 recount, my friend's daughter said " Why don't they just count ALL the votes, and whoever has the most, wins"?..she was in 5th grade..
Yeah, why didn't they re-count all the votes in Florida in 2000?
Why'd Alphonse Capote Gore want only some of the votes re-counted?
The low-calorie primitive's such a blubberhead.

8. And they relay their succinct message so much better than us most of the time.
Love the, "why don't they just count all the votes, and whomever has the most, wins".
Now, why didn't we think of that??
George Bush thought of it, but Alphonse Capote Gore didn't want to.

About the time my 12 year old said that to me (or any adult if I was in hearing range) he'd be sent to his room...right after I told him if he was so smart he might as well go out and get a job and apartment in the morning. I wouldn't want to stifle his creativity and problem solving ability by weighing him down with silly little rules...like treating adults with respect.
Oh, and about kids speaking the truth, over the years I've heard such gems as "we weren't kicking the ball in the house", (while a soccer ball rested amidst what was left of a lamp I'd just bought a few days before); "I don't know how the kool-aid got on the hall rug" (in our house, Jesus may walk on water but, evidently kool-aid can fly), and "I didn't hit my brother on purpose, my hand has a mind of its own". I think libs see such truch in children because their thoughts are just as simplistic.

I think the best I've heard so far is, "Trixie (the dog) did it." Referring to some paper that had been ripped up and spread all over the living room. Which isn't something Trixie has ever done, if it isn't a tennis ball or food she isn't interested.
My neighbor's son about a year ago told her, "No mom, I didn't drive the car anywhere." The car was facing the wrong direction in the wrong spot from where she had left it.

I would think they'd want to rename the planet "Obamaworld" or something.

This is AMAZING! Every time I ask my grandchildren what happened, the first thing out of their mouths is "I don't know"!
Whoda thunk they had such deep philisophical views wrapped up it "I don't know".
