I get lots of email…most of it is from you guys sending me tips and sharing funny stuff. I love getting email from you, but there’s a darker element that thinks they can change my mind on issues.<\/p>\n
I used to have a policy that I wouldn’t publish the emails I get from readers, but I get some of the stupidest people emailing me these days. Usually I just send them to TSO and COB6 and we giggle about them, but why should I leave you, my loyal readers, out? So here’s one I got yesterday in reference to my other blog Tall and Rich from a guy who calls himself Calico Jack. I love the way he just starts in talking knowing what my response will be before I even read his mail;<\/p>\n
have you ever been to Colombia? I have. Met Carlos Lehder Rivas.Seem’s you have a handle on corruption in your country. You have no idea of the corruption in Colombia..and as far as Oliver Stone goes..my brother served 18 months in Vietnam and since he has been back there is only one film that shakes him to his core.Platoon.I suppose you think the film Double Crossed is a pack of lies too. yea.. that is why your government tried to ban it..cause it was fiction..yea right..<\/strong>soon so many will know the truth when my film gets released. Oliver Stone has my utmost respect as a man and a director. Tell me..you like your job?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What Oliver-stupid-Stone has to do with Colombia or what Colombia has to do with Platoon, I’ll never know. Notice the part that says my government tried to ban some movie – I asked him if he had proof that the US government tried to ban a movie…that would make a good blog post if he could get me some proof. So he answers;<\/p>\n
\nListen pal..I have been to Colombia<\/span> 17 times since I was 18..AND i KNOW WHAT i AM TALKING ABOUT!<\/div>\n<\/span>I rented the movie Double Crossed<\/span> and when I returned it right after it came out for rental by the way, the RCMP was waiting at the store for the tape to be returned, and promptly took it. <\/strong><\/div>\nNo pal,Platoon did not suck, Reagen sucked, and Bush sucks.<\/div>\nAS FAR AS VIETNAM GOES MY BROTHER IS NOT A LIAR<\/span>. AND I IDOLIZE NO ONE.GOD KNOWS THAT WAR WAS WRONG FROM THE GET GO.BEFORE YOU GO SPUING CRITISIZM ABOUT SOME DIRECTOR WHO SERVED IN THAT WAR..AND ANYTHING ABOUT THE DRUG WAR..MAYBE YOU SHOULD SAVE IT TILL YOU SEE MY FILM. AND I have grown up long ago.<\/div>\nI am 47 and a member of one of the biggest clans on this planet..and popular culture<\/span> will never own me<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nNow, I’m not especially bright, but I’m pretty sure the Royal Canadian Mounted Police can’t confiscate movies at Blockbuster in the US. So I asked him about that;<\/div>\n\nreally.. gee ..I do know that they do not have any jurisdiction in the U.S. I ALSO KNOW THAT THE DEA HAS INFLUENCE WITH THE RCMP<\/span> IN EVERY PROVINCE IN MY COUNTRY. IF I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOTHERED YOU TO BEGIN WITH. GO AHEAD SMART GUY WHY DON’T YOU ASK SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT REALLY IS AND HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE DRUG WAR SINCE 1979..AFTER ALL I AM CANADIAN. IT IS IN MY INTREST TO ALWAYS KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS SO CALLED DRUG WAR. LIKE YOUR JOB?<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nSo, apparently, the DEA sends the Mounties into video stores to confiscate videos of terrible movies.\u00a0 Turns out he’s tryin to recruit me for a job…I didn’t bother to ask what kind of job.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
