Don--

I apologize. I wasn't trying to start a stink. I'll behave now. :)

Kit and all,
Please take any politics off this group.  We are in an extremely
polarized political world this year and almost no one is willing to
listen to the other side.  Similar to the Palestinian/Israeli matrix.

Therefore, to keep peace and love in the LUG family, let us agree to
disagree someplace else.

Not here.

How are your Saturday photo's coming by the way?

Marc--

I knew that would get you to talk to me! 

Now we all know that Riefenstahl was a master photgrapher (used Leicas!)
and
cinematographer. No doubt about that. But that doesn't make the work she
created an accurate portrayal of history. Any more than some of the
things
that Hurley did. Both were creating propaganda. So there. 

As for the current media bias? You mean the right-wing conservative
media's
refusal to acknowledge the truth?

Check the archives.  It was over my support for Riefenstahl's artistry
that
BD Colen denounced me as a bigoted so-and-so.

I presume that you are referring to the prounced media bias towards John
Kerry and against Bush?
