[Blindtlk] family guy show

[Marion Gwizdala]

Bryan,
    First of all, your comment about Family Guy may have been one little 
observation, but it was one among many we have heard from you. You seem to 
have a knack for making negative comments about the NFB on our lists, never 
stopping to consider that we are not preventing you from making such 
comments in our own house, so to speak. This seems very contradictory to 
your numerous assertions that we are all sheep following ignorantly and not 
allowing discension. I am of the opinion that all bias is the result of 
ignorance and the unwillingness to recognize the truth despite overwhelming 
evidence is the epitome of ignorance.
    As for the Blindness movie, Did you ever stop to consider that it is 
very possible the reason the box office receipts were so low was because of 
the demonstrations we in the NFB held outside the theaters and the negative 
publicity it received as the result. I know that while we were demonstrating 
outside our local MovieCo theater showing the movie in Tampa, a large number 
of patrons decided to see a different movie than the one they had intended.
