Opera way too scary for the lil ones

Some thoughts:
  • I haven't seen this video, so I don't exactly what they show from the opera of Faust, but the last time I checked, Faust got his just deserts in the end.
  • I wonder how many of those innocent kids have seen the Star Wars movies? Yeah, they don't have a devil (unless you count Darth Maul) but there's lots of people being killed with swords there.
  • I wonder if I should retain a lawyer for Mrs. Dallas? She has agreed to participate in the "classics in the classroom" program run by the local PTA and will be giving some presentations to the elementary school kids on Beethoven's 9th symphony (sample text: "Be embraced millions! This kiss to all the world!") and Bizet's Carmen (contains scenes of murder, lust, betrayal, and smoking--well, Carmen works in a cigarette factory anyway).
