:)It is not because of the subliminal messages that I avoid the lion-king, it
:)is because of the homosexual stance of Disney.  I have decided to vote with
:)my $$$$, though my impact is small.  I will not purchase a Disney product,
:)or in anyway way knowingly do business with them.

	It seems to me that this discussion is taking these values from
	the wrong standpoint.  Let me ask you all a question:

		Do you believe in being seperate and holding up ALL
	    the values of holiness as the bible instructs us to?

	I do and that is why, when my family began walking for the Lord
	a few years ago, we completely got rid of the TV, VCR, and 
	associated things.  Do you actually think that it is holy to look
	at those videos (though they be Disney) if there weren't any
	subliminal messages in them?  I don't...

	I am not condeming anyone who believes that way but trying to
 	enlighten instead.  Just my penny's worth, any comments?
