My girlfriend and I witnessed an Oscar winner performance of the Reed/Raith IUFOC Show. However, what I especially found interesting was the reaction of the lap dog audience. They ate it up! "You are Heroes!" and "You're among friends" was their response. Reed/Raith made many references to how in this country you should able to speak freely. Everyone cheered them on. However that same feeling wasn't there for anyone that that questioned their story in the slightest degree. During a question and answer period some asked "point of order" type questions about the video (i.e. "How was the sound so clear considering that the mic. on the video camera should have been turned away from your face?", "How did the camera stay so steady considering that you where so out of breath?"). The audience treated these innocuous questions with hostility reserved for murders and child molesters. "Get the hell at of here!" along with groans of disgust was the audience's reaction. The first amendment must only apply to people who speak the truth they want to hear. As long as people like that are part of the "UFO Community", people like Reed/Raith will flourish. I find the whole thing amazing. I am not yet bulletin board member, you may post this if you like. Steve Skye SSkye@skyelighting.com -----
