ok, this one has been with me all day... I'm still chewing on it!
1) Mel's father... while I do feel that his opinions are misguided, and yes if you don't work against the evils of society it is the same as condoning them, but he does have the right to his opinion. Mel is right to defend his father even if he disagrees with his point of view, after all he is his father.
2) Mel's feelings and the movie... I don't believe that Mel is anti-semitic. I don't believe that he made the movie to portray Jews in any negative way. I think that he is trying to show a deep faith and wants to share his opinions about Christ. I am, however, not so naive as to believe that a financial bottom line didn't enter the picture...
3) The media... there are not strong enough words in the English language for the contempt that I hold for the media (esp. American media). I think the media is one of the factors in why the US is going to hades in a handbasket! Between politics and the media (and the synergy of the two) there is a great mountain for US society to climb before we will be free. (Anybody ever see "Wag the Dog"?)
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest... I guess its been in the back of my head since I first heard about 'the new movie Mel is making'
