Just where will the children play?  Someone took this ballad and added a slide show from a Laotian documentary that showed children who lived in abject poverty and did not have a place to play.  A very moving use of this music.  In most third world countries of Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia, children do not where clothes in poverty stricken villages until they reach a certain age.  Especially in climates that are very hot and humid.<\/p>\n<p>A FriendBurst member who I happen to respect posted this moving version of the song in a blog.  Another FriendBurst member, who I also respect, made a comment through email about &#8220;kiddie porn&#8221;.  It was done jokingly and he has admitted it was a joke.  This created an all out war between two people and various of their friends.  It made me rather sad to see it blow up out of proportion.<\/p>\n<p>Now another FriendBurst member, one who is also a friend, has taken up the cause.  He equates pictures taken in documentaries about the plight of children in third world countries to children porn.  I do not know why he has gotten so high on the horse, but I suspect from past experience with him, he is just using it for traction to get attention.<\/p>\n<p>I did not belong to any of your cliques on MySpace and from what I am seeing here, I am glad I wasn&#8217;t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very poignant moving ballad.
