Enjoy the show.

That I will. I'm now sending out "heads-up" to my brother and my cousin.
This will force each to take an hour break from their respective duties as father and
as internet-database geek.

And not to be political...just practical...
Front Line is so good it should be on a major like FOX.
In humor, I get cognitive dissonance when I watch Front Line and don't switch the
channel from PBS as soon as it's over!

Regardless, keep up the excellent work with the Front Line specials.

When will they do follow up to the one they had about the inside game of Silicon Valley
internet speculation? There should be at least an hour special just doing profiles
on Gary Winnick of Global Crossing and Martha Stewart.

Hey, I've got an idea...you might get a good hour special with Martha in chains
turning Winnick's mansion into a penal colony.
(IIRC, the Los Angeles Times reported that the mansion was the most expensive single
dwelling sold in the history of Los Angeles County and was being extensively renovated.)

And one other naive suggestion:
Front Line should expand a bit more into historical investigations/autopsies.
The "Secrets, Lies And Atomic Spies" show on NOVA was really good...but was the sort of
thing that Front Line could maybe even do a better job on. (just an amateur opinion...)

I guess I jumped the gun and thought this was on tonight. It's on tomorrow night (Thursday) at 9 p.m.

I suggest y'all tune in.

Dogmatism is generally not useful among the strong minded. With robots it is mandatory. It takes its lumps around FR.

There are many different ways to work for the good. All can be claimed to be prostitutes by those who view the world through one lens of righteousness. Or sell outs.

I saw most of the program and I would say EXCELLENT!!!

Congratulations on a wonderful job. Illuminating, frightening, fascinating, and anger producing.

For those who missed it, including the narrowminded who poo-pooed it out of ignorance, check the information here and watch it next chance you get.
