assistant: I was going to, but I was begged not to... by my father (a REAL war
hero who received a battlefield commission in WWII and served for
28 years before ill health forced him to leave the military)...
You see, the lying no-good-nik is my own delusional big brother --
and, as it turns out, his war stories were ripped off from my father,
but changed to VN locales. Guess which brother WON'T be inheriting
my father's medals when he passes away?
I embarrassed him big-time in front of his in-laws over the whole
sordid affair -- upon viewing his fake commendations for the first
time following my mother's funeral, I vocalized my disgust & outrage
and called it the crock it was -- right in front of his MIL & FIL...
I understand from my other brothers, that he took down all the phony
commendations after that and no longer tries to "pass"... *BUT*, I'm
still angry about his sick deception. I'm disgusted to be sharing
genetic material with my brother -- he's always been an idiot, but
I never knew how low he could sink until I saw his wall of shame,
proudly displaying his dime-store decorations... UGH!!!
In case you're wondering, I'm estranged from this brother. I want
nothing to do with him and I never seek him out. YUCK!!!

assistant: Get a load of this, folks... The NAACP is now calling for the
investigation into Ron Brown's life to be re-opened:
    NAACP Seeks Info on Brown Death
    (c) The Associated Press
    AP-NY-12-19-97
    WASHINGTON (AP) -- A military pathologist's claim that Ron Brown, the
    late Commerce secretary, may have been shot in the head has led NAACP
    President Kweisi Mfume to ask the Clinton administration for
    information about the matter.
    "The NAACP is very concerned about the ramifications of these
    allegations and left unanswered and unresolved, they raise serious
    questions," Mfume wrote in a letter Thursday to Attorney General Janet
    Reno. "These allegations require an explanation."
    Government investigators conclude that Brown died from injuries he
    sustained from an April 1996 plane crash in Croatia.
    An Air Force pathologist was quoted in reports earlier this month as
    saying that photographs of Brown's body show a head wound that could
    have been caused by a bullet from a gunshot.
    Lt. Col. Steve Cogswell, a deputy medical examiner at the Armed Forces
    Institute of Pathology, said the wound should have prompted officials
    to order an autopsy.
    Cogswell is now the subject of an internal investigation and under
    orders not to leave his office area during work hours, according to
    the Air Force.
    Mfume also has asked Gen. Henry Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
    of Staff, for a briefing on the investigation of the crash, which
    killed 34 other people on the plane in addition to Brown.
 *  "It is clear to me that this issue should not be allowed to fester,"
    Mfume wrote.

While there may be some that would agree with you that the flood of violence,
sex, and other immoral / objection content in the movies is there due to it
being a 'good investment', that opinion is not in fact supported by the data.
I challenge you to read some of Michael Medved's writing and analysis of the
situation in Hollywood. He details the fact that when Hollywood releases a
'G' rated movie that is well made, it will without fail, perform better at
the box office than the standard fare that they now serve us.
