This is so astounding, that I can’t even think how to respond (other than sit with my mouth hanging open). So I’m turning this over to Tony Comstock, who isn’t having a problem responding, thank god. Full disclosure and for what it’s worth: Tony sent me a copy of the film he refers to (ya know; the one with the old guy…)
I loved it. In fact, I loved it so much I even commented about it on Amazon, which I don’t generally do. But again — that’s not relevant. What is relevant is such a horrifying example of the nanny stateism. Ugh.
Dear Maureen,Thank you so much for posting this. Sometimes the highs and lows of doing this work are almost too much for me to bear. When I got your note about how much you enjoyed our film, I was walking on air; then the next week this, and I am in the depths of despair. Thanks for lifting me back up again!
Really? They don’t have something better to do with their time than decide on being a nanny? When is this nation going to grow up???
