If you watch other programs on that channel, they are all about UFO's and Extraterrestrial visitors. They present that hokum as facts and everyday events. I don't believe a word they say, but it is entertainment.
I felt bad for Laurie and Mike Kauffman. They were "Used" to create authenticity in an otherwise "UFO Story". It didn't work.
When Laurie comes out from under the bed - where she is hiding, tell her we love her and understand her position - she was "used".
I promise not to say another word about the whole mater.
Thank you for the support, John. At my age, however, I can no longer crawl under the bed - well, maybe I could get down, but I don't think I would ever get up.
Unfortunately, in my old age, I have developed a worse, mouthy attitude than I used to have. I generally say what I think, and those in the field of writing and also films should know that their work is up for review. I feel that is what I did with this program, and I place the blame for its inadequacies right at the feet of the production staff. I know that there are media groups out there who can do excellent work with our subject matter. One that comes immediately to mind is the old Greystone Productions. They did a great TV show and subsequent video on the assassination back in the late-80s or early-90s and were fantastic to work with. Sorry, I can't remember the title of the show.
Believe it or not, in the past decade I have survived three attempts by one person (with a vested interest in the assassination) to get me fired as well as a full-blown law suit that failed and then was appealed (and failed again) and finally was moved to Maryland where it died. All this caused by another individual over a photo. If anyone thinks loving history is easy, guess again.
Laurie, just read this article about Mike Rowe and how he handled the situation of someone trying to get him fired. Hope you find comfort in it.
