Would you like a glass of Chianti with your fava beans Mr. Holland? Did you wake up in a hotel bathroom full of ice cubes? Consider AspenPost a private school playground, for that's pretty much what it is. This is no slight. Cheers, [http://adamholland.blogspot.com/2007/10/911-truth-movement-leader-stopped-from.html]

All available at your local video store. I was under the impression that Grassroots provided a venue for ideas outside of the mainstream. BTW I visited another blog that was linked here on AP. This was the result: http://adamholland.blogspot.com/2007/10/911-truth-movement-leader-stopped-from.html Not quite the respect I get here, but then consider the source of the blog. I won't try that again! Wharf,

Obviously it is not axiomatic; otherwise people like Steve would not have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. It appeals to those who already have a proclivity toward conspiracy. Since I believe that conspiracy theorists and neo-Nazis comprise an extremely small majority, especially in the RF valley, I trust that this film will not cause a tidal wave of historical revisionism or anti-Semitism, despite the fears expressed in the letters to the editor.

I get that. On the surface my suggestion is supercilious. Is the ability to discern truth from lie in this film axiomatic? I’m not sure it is. Cheers, Rat & G,

At a cocktail party of ideas, the audience need only meet, greet, and listen to truth and lies--no introduction is necessary. Reck,

Having shown the film to be a series of bald face lies and fabrications, I find myself favoring a strongly-worded preface by Grass Roots TV, framing the film as the horse pucky it is, prior to its airing. Of course, I have no influence on this question. Nevertheless, were anyone asking me, that's what I'd recommend. Cheers, [I still don't see how it constitutes a threat to Jews.
