As a child, I loved this video. As an adult, I hate how it gets you rooting for the bill to become a law when we Americans are oppressed by far too many laws already! “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” – Cornelius Tacitus (55-117 A.D.)
It gets just a bit old when all the "bills" represent the people who run this country and not the typical citizens. We are losing our rights to these "bills" that they wrote, taking away our rights. The "patriot act" was written before 911, and became a "law" after. Just like NDAA,TSA, etc. "If you give up liberty for security you lose both." - Ben Franklin ps RP2012
How could the president sign the bill if the bill was sitting on the steps and not in the office of the president? U know it's a children's show but still?!?!?
think of it if family guy took the SOPA/PIPA bill and threw it in the fire. HOW THE HECK ARE THEY GONNA CENSOR TEH INTERNET NOW?! (i'm not with them btw)
Why would anyone dislike this? It's so cute :) I watch it every day in history and I love it! My dad said he remembered it was one of the Saturday morning cartoons. There is no "right" or "wrong" decade to grow up in, so kindly shut your face. THANKS! :)
@Geogun0331 You seem to be very logiacal, i dont live in the u.s anymore so please if you would be so kind as to explain what SOPA and PIPA is becuase as i said i dont live there anymore
@MrToddino Thay removed it because of protest but it was to stop piracy but it did it the wrong way by taking sites down like youtube twitter Facebook Google etc

@Xwaterwolf100X I know right? This around when I was a youngin' :) You poor kids, had a bunch of crap fed to you. They don't want to young people to revolt like they did back in 60's. I wish they would talk about the Lobbyist as well. I hope school is going well you! Cheers Darling
i would sing this song to but i stink at singing if i made it in american idol singing this song that would be sooooo cool but i wouldnt make it that far even if i made it i love this song its awesome
u know u could take a government class like kya... kentucky youth assembly. we get to debate on bills that other schools make. i just got back from the trip.
I hate it when people say "If you grew up in such and such decade you had the best childhood possible". I was born in the late 90s and I grew up with all the great Disney movies (The Lion King, Aladdin,etc), the great Nickelodeon shows (Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold) along with watching videos like this in school. But I'm not going to say it was THE time to be born because what the hell do I have to compare it to?
These cartoons were produced before "self esteem" and "participation trophies" were invented. Back in the 70s, they just wanted kids to learn how to read,write, know about American history and do some basic math.
If you grew up in the 80's...you seriously had the best childhood life there can be. I can remember this shit to this day which is why I looked it up anyway. But how cool is this....otherwise complicated process demonstrated so anyone can understand. Yeah....the 80's rocked....schoolhouse rocked I mean. Cartoons today seriously lack value. I can remember enjoying seeing all schoolhouse rock come on. No one from the 80's.....forgets this...ever!
