Great work, but the wrong arena

Well, Dan, you sure took a beating on that one. But you don't have to. You just need to get on the right playing field. Donahue is a setup. One that is designed to make certain people look like fools. He was either gunning for you or he is as stupid as he appears.

Either way, the current American audience loses another opportunity to understand what you are trying to do. Those type of shows only add to the confusion that is running rampant about these issues.

On the other hand, if you were merely trying to get some exposure and generate some interest in your new web site, then you may well have done that. People do like a controversy. Or, more accurately, you can always get a crowd to watch a fight.

Anyway, thank you for the valuable work that you are doing. Somewhat like the book "Farenheit 451", those who are going to wake up will. The rest probably won't know what happened even after it does.

Thank you.
