David, I don't want you to think I'm picking on you, AND I appreciate the 
sentiment, but... what "right" are you talking about? 

<ASIDE>I realize that "History" is a more subjective realm, but Hollywood 
certainly has no respect for the viewers' "right" to documented historical 
events 
(e.g., "Braveheart" vs. what happened 700 years ago on THIS planet). 
Hmmm--who would Mel blame for that?</ASIDE>
