[RachaelsSexy]

[SynysterJoeyA7X]

[Chase63Chriscraft]

What noble thoughts and an inspiring young woman if not unrealistically idealistic!

If only it were really that simple!

Nice job Justice!

[lennylovegun]

thumps up for that girl. happy to see the next gen might be smarter...

[partysparker]

thats fuken awsome.

[Ithilfey]

I love this girl! Wow, our second graders are smarter than the president and his advisers. Maybe we should send them all back to 2nd grade. OR WE COULD WAIT 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL OBAMA IS PRESIDENT!!! (Sorry, just had to vent my happiness....)

[ancientsu]

@Ithilfey hows that goin for you now?

[SpiritualTalk]

Great ideas Justice! Perhaps if we send all our government leaders back to the second grade...??? It might help.

[vickileroy]

This is GREAT!!!

.....from the mouths of babes

Perfect that her name is Justice.

[eight38s]

Hah! Sounds like fun.

[sweetqueento3]

Bravo! *standing ovation*

This brought tears to my eyes!

[teresa0406]

you picked a good one michael. the fact that her name was justice made it even cooler! any responses from the letter?

[marcussanford]

BETTER YET... get a "campaign" together to send waterguns and a copy of her letter to the TROOPS!! (Unfortunately, I am overcommitted to do this myself.)

...I dare ya!

(nicolesanford)

[marcussanford]

SO, did the letter (and the other letters) get SENT to our lame President??? ...and all the senators/representatives?

'cause that would be awesome.

Thanks Justice!

[lundsteve]

Best youtube video I have ever watched

[Cronicclapper]

Laser tag would work better. I've had this idea for years. Or a great game of basketball. Cuz then we would always win.

[raganriley]

amazing person

[demonpants]

That girl's awesome. She totally schooled the president.

[jayceface08]

if only we really did use water guns...

[malarkeynshin]

haha! just perfect!

she is adorable!

[Organjic]

This made me tear up.

[Aikia222]

this is so amazigly true, and if a sencond grader can realise it , then why can't everyone else?!?! Her ideas were clever and peaceful (a great combo) and everyone who thinks this is all hippie crap needs to go out and look around!

[kontrariankid]

Ron Paul has the same philosophy:

RonPaulTV . c o m

DailyPaul . c o m

RonPaul2008 . c o m

[crabapples100]

Bush is a fucking retard - everyone thinks this. Not just hippies. This girl rules. End of story.

[Rynot11]

tracemanaz, president bush does go to second grade classes. infact, he was in an elementry school class when he found out that terrorist with planes (not waterguns) had flown into the trade center. how about you get your facts straight

[scooticus]

Prez Bush sat on his ass in that classroom after he was told the SECOND plane hit the tower-He fucking KNEW the first plane hit before going in. Get your facts straight...

[Rynot11]

at the end of the letter she should have written, "now lets all go smoke a peace pipe and hug a bunch of trees..then eat tofu"

get a life

[barb0025]

spot on if little children can do it(resolve problems)why shouldn't adults just do the same without violence

[Dalaih]

It brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful!

[VeerleBrems]

if even a second grader can think of it...

[tracemanaz]

I was at this show.... the energy was poppin' hard that night!! Justice has some great ideas. Perhaps the current president should go to some second grade class rooms around the country, and perhaps learn to play fair, and not go bullying others to get what he wants. I spoke with her mother, and it was their first Franti show. I think that they were hooked. keep up the good work, Michael!!! POWER TO THE PEACEFUL !!!

[thisisatestdiego]

Oh Mike - why so cynical?

[mikepaganova]

In a perfect world filled with Captain Planet and Carebears.......

[goforit07]

If this could happen-waycool for the girl. crazyasme

[payyourdeductable]

brings tears of satisfaction to my eyes thanks so much...

[usbluesg]

I Love this man

[StephenORegan]

Why didn't I think of that!? Genius!

[wyattstube]

Imagine if the currency of 'big business' was love.

Imagine being bankrupt... Imagine being rich...

Imagine paying for a tank of bio-diesel, with a big wet kiss.

Things are only impossible, until they aren't. Just ask Franti.

Justice rocks the mic!

Wyatt, in Flagstaffari-

[divajc]

Brilliant idea. She just doesn't know that real guns are BIG BUSINESS. Now, if we can get the Presidents to stop doing BIG BUSINESS and get back to being kids, we'll have the problem of war solved.

Love and Light,

Diva JC

[juliact]

levecke for president! she's great, and what a great name too!

[RobinTimmers]

Nice little miss Justice (sounds like a Jimi Hendrix songtitle ay? I would love to hear that one!),

Thanx for making it clear, hope that George dude up in Washington will see and hear u! You can also change the rule that everybody wins when everybody's wet (on a real hot day off course!)!

LOVE + BEST WISH

Robinneke

[dianaperry]

I don't think Justice was trying to be cute...

The point of her letter is to stop the war, not to show people how cute she is...although I must disagree with you...this gal is super cute and super smart...

[lookitslauren]

am i the only one who doesn't find this "cute"?

[lookitslauren]

not that i don't oppose the war,

i just don't think this is that cute?

[popham64]

It wasn't supposed to be cute, you've missed the point.

[lookitslauren]

no, I didn't miss the point.

I'm just saying,

its not cute

[VeerleBrems]

you're right, it is not cute. But it is the truth and that's what makes it great, even better coming from a second grader

[hurricanes17]

Yeah, just send our troops over to Iraq with Super Soakers. I'm sure the towelheads will catch on.

As for Presidents talking things out, I'm sure the President of Iraq has plenty of control over the insurgents. Just like Abraham Lincoln had control of the Confederate States.

[brandigity]

the men hijacking the planes with box cutters were from Saudia Arabia, not Iraq. Hussein had the insurgents under control in Iraq for a long time. The US has been interfering and causing major problems worldwide since the '50s. we could try not policing the world. we don't need an empire. we need peace.

[DidgePenguin]

Little girl...think about becoming a politician when you grow up...we could use a good one!

[Ashogo]

that should definitely be heard by the president.

[shannonrocker]

That was so perfect. I hope someone in the white house hears this

[tbirdm21]

it made me cry.

[tabla1]

franti for president!

[devoinregress]

Rock on!

Children can be the most rational people on earth.

[Tarotlaydee]

I think Dennis Kucinich should be Prez and Michael Franti should be Secretary of State. Justice could be head of the FCC.

[bayouchochu]

Listen up politicians, this is the future of the world speaking now!

[paulsean203]

The message is coming through loud and clear. Please vote in 08!! No war! "Hasta la victoria siempre" -Che

[oneloveinpeace]

Superb! We should get Michael Franti for President, and Justice as Military Advisor! Bravo Justice, you're beautiful :)

[gribus]

Speechless ...

[ediddy67]

How 'bout Franti for President?

[twirllygirl77]

beautiful :)
