Just a quick note before bed ... we just finished watching the Oscars and I am wondering how a man [Roman Polanski] who was convicted of the statutory rape of a 13 year old girl when he was 45 and who fled the country in 1978 never returning so as to avoid incarceration can be applauded and praised by a group of people who are so against war and violence and suffering ...


I was happy to hear that Michael Moore got booed during his ranting ... the Oscars are neither the time nor the place for speeches of that sort ... especially when service men and woman who are serving their country are watching ...
