I suppose we learned nothing from all those fiction books like Goodnight Moon that were read to us as children. A book of Aesop’s Fables contains more truth than the Collected Works of Ann Coulter. A novel by Christopher Buckley has more truth in it about Washington D.C. than all the self-important memoirs of the politicians there, and the puffed up non-fiction by experts, journalists and others. But then, if your interests lie in the “truths” of the passing day, then go right ahead, read and re-read Ann Coulter’s 10 year old tomes. Who needs Shakespeare’s lies!

A well known film director told me years ago, that if I was interested in truth, I should pursue fiction writing and filmmaking, and if I was interested in lies then write non-fiction and make documentary films. He was right.

I really am sorry that I threw everybody off the track. I did not I mean to demean the entire works of literary fiction since time began. I wasnt even thinking about literature...(lets see...at noon I was thinking about...eating my samich...going back to work ((on a holiday)) and getting things done a little early and trying to salvage an extra hour before sundown today.)

GOOD GRIEF!!

I thought this thread was about Bruce Willis' political opinion, and at the outside, the lying Hollywood film industry and everyone thats associated with its lack of standing when it comes to believing anything that they have to say.

Oh, and I was a Curious George kid, myself.
