Attention

As awful as that movement is, since they LOVE attention of any kind it's almost best to just starve them of it.

A bit late, as the story was on ABC News. And of course, the musical group isn't about promoting the girls, but about using the girls to promote the movement's message. I hope ABC got a nice check for helping them along.

Still, I agree that the best thing to "do" is to ignore 'em. With any luck, the girls will get exposed to saner people as they get older, and may eventually come to question their beliefs before they pass them along to their own children. Probably not, but we can hope, and eventually some generation will shake off their hateful heritage.

After all, historically, bigotry is on the decrease. I think we'll probably see a brief uptick as the Internet makes it easier for these types to find other like-mindless folks, but I don't think the overall trend is going to change.
