Of course it's everyone's freedom to donate to whatever cause he wishes, so some might be able to justify why Focus is allowing its film, Milk, to be shown in Cinemark theaters. But Focus Films has the timely opportunity to make a statement against the kind of violence that contributed to the murder of Harvey Milk by pulling its distribution of Milk from Cinemark theaters. You should already know that no one with any scruples would see Milk in one of Alan Stock's theaters anyway, so why not make real statement against discriminatory laws against gays and lesbians that perpetuate violence against gays instead of capitalizing on it?

I've got so much to say to you people . . . that I hardly know where to begin. I'll begin at the near ending of my life, how's that? . . . I have recently made the rahter insane proposition that I will one day be regarded as the 'Picasso of 21st Century American Literature' Now, then: Mr Bowen, I am taking a most respectful tone with you. I have no idea about your politics nor you aesthetic theories of film nor literature---not that makes an ounce of difference! What I want is simple recognition. Simple recognition, in the form of some human response from som English-speaking person. . . . to be quite frank, I am dead drunk right now. Oh, what a sad fate, to be a drinker. But, in any event, I must confess, I humbly seek your assistance, my fellow 'critical thinker'. I humbly seek your assistance in getting my TWO YEARS IN KUNMING published and set to decnet form. What do you say? you can look at www.myspace.com/don_gardner_stacy for all the particulars. Yours cordially Donald Gardner Stacy
