Disney World as an opportunity for international outreach
Last month, I took the family to Disney World.

Each year, more people from all over the world visit Disney World and Disney Land than Mecca.

I am sorry to say that I pretty much missed this grand opportunity to show the world that 49% of Americans are not idiots.

I've heard tales of Disney World censoring "controversial" T-shirts.

While I was there I saw a few Confederate Flags, one "Only through Christ" shirt, and a Gospel Choir group all wearing matching shirts. There was also an "Insane Clown Posse" shirt and a couple "Goth" kids.

In any case, I think that if you're going to visit Disney theme parks and similar international-tourist-destinations this might be a good way to show the world our better face.

For example, have you seen the site, http://www.sorryeverybody.com ?

Wear something like that stuff on a T-shirt.

I'm still kicking myself for missing out on this. However, I did have a conversation about Bush with a nice Canadian woman.

1. We always wear our peace pins when we go to Disneyland.
We're pass people and go at least twice a month!
