I get so tired of people using the everyone else is doing it argument to do
illegal things.  If you are thinking it (I guess we all do) at least have the
shame to not brag about and act like it is a good reason.  It is never a good
reason to do illegal things.  Doing them just makes things worse.  Why not do
right even if you are the only one doing it?  This make you a good, moral
person.
 
I have the audacity to think that many people do act in what they think to be
the best interest of their nation in the service of government.  Chaney took a
big salary hit to serve as VP.

I'm afraid much great film work is lost forever.  It's very sad.  A few films
have been thought lost forever that were found in private hands.  People have
been very grateful for their recovery, though I am not sure they were paid for
them.  Perhaps they were.  Anyway, this seems off the subject.
