You forgot to include yourself. I have connected my comments to the movie, and
its implications in respect to the entire Lego line, as have you. You are
attempting to dismiss others viewpoints as "political" (and I only use the term
because that is what you have used) while denying that yours aren't really any
different.

Go back and actually respond to my post. All I'm saying is that no matter what
decision Lego makes, it is political by your definition of political. I'm just
using your term - I actually don't see what politics has to do with it all.
