I feel more than a little concerned for what I know as my country and where it is currently heading. Im re-posting this video not only because of those concerns but because of some of the reactions I have received over the years (I know! Years?) and Im not writing about the usual You Tube comments. Oh, wait, I cant, because they are no usual You Tube comments. There are exactly two, about being drunken, which I suppose is part of the video. But the usual tin foil hat club, their detractors, their hangers on, have I gone too long (?) is totally quiet on this video. And the view count? Put your lips together and blow. There are many of you out there who have worked with me as an actor, writer and/or director and you know my work ethic. That this is not a haphazard video, that you know my work ethic on writing, rehearsal, et al. But, I have run across a certain amount of you slap dashed it in private conversations about this video. So, its not my work ethic I look to for this videos lack of, uh, shall we say, You Tube viewership and comments, but rather simply the subject matter itself. That is why Im more than a little concerned. My belief at the time of the shoot and today was that the government was asking us to believe, that one man could do all these extraordinary things. I felt, too, that only a drunk could explain these government facts. Was it too soon to do comedy about 9/11 in 2011? Well, any cursory search of You Tube would show countless videos in that regard. It may have been a variety of reasons, including the obvious, it sucks. Eh, but it sucks simply washes away not only my commitment, my passions to everything Ive done, but the subject matter itself. That subject is very important to us and is something we must recall when judging not only our countrys actions, but also its affiliations.
