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.
