what ever became of that blog-site where we can send you a letter from our DRAFT box via FOWARD? Weeks ago I found it, sent 4 letters---re: cities, bed-bug epidemic, health-food woes in schools, and on the hazards of nukes. I don't know --where to go to read if these appeared onLine --where to go if we want to submit more??? Please have mercy. When we (who have to use the library's computer) get cut off without a warning after writing 10 paragraphs...and we can't SAVE the words ..... sincerely Si

Bill, Your level of vitriole during your commentary is welcome and refreshing and at the level of any young college student blogger. The interview with Gold is a boring letdown disappointment. PLEASE READ FERDNINAND LUNDBERG AND LOSE YOUR RELIGION OVER DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS! They don't exist! It is the choice of a stab in the back with a rusty tetanus-coated knife or a bullet in the chest. They have been the same party since 1918 and you are only exercising the ILLUSION OF CHOICE when you vote for either/or. You press the issue (which is admirable) of WHAT CAN BE DONE to correct problems like Trade and the Economy being run like Organized Crime but don't you find, as I do, that your guests have no working rational plan to defeat the thugs? Please invite people on who have SOLUTIONS not just disappointed rhetoric. Start talking about alternative parties as if they were legitimate entities so that you are not playing into the 'Two' Party Illusion. You're straining the Envelope, but you haven't yet broke through. Keep pushing.

Having been a long-time fan of Bill Moyers' work, especially in terms of his efforts to show different sides of a story, I was disappointed to see the interview with Gretchen Morgenson on 7/29/07. Many assumptions were made here without objectivity and critical analysis of the causes of increasing foreclosure rates. First, Ms. Morgenson goes after the whole secondary mortgage market as if it has had only negative consequences for the housing industry. Packing and selling pools of mortgages has made homeownership more affordable (whether prime or sub-prime) for prospective buyers by creating an international market for lending (more choice for buyers) and reducing the risk of lending (returns are not based on single mortgages). If the secondary mortgage market has made sub-prime mortgages more available it's only because it has made borrowing in general more affordable. Attacking the secondary mortgage market is like saying airplanes are bad because there are airplane crashes. Just like flying, borrowing has its risks, but if you don't have this tool, your ability to accomplish certain things is greatly limited. And what really is the value of the old system of the borrower being directly connected to the lender? Any middle school student who...

This evening the 29th of June Bill does it again - another great program. Bill Moyers is a national treasury!

Terrorism's Roots It is my conviction that the terrorist threat we face today is of our own making. It is a combination of our foreign relations policy, the covert actions of our CIA and military and the greed of our corporations. Our State department calls dictators presidents, the media follows suit and our tax dollars assist them in terrorizing their citizens. Our corporations sell them arms used to control their disgruntled subjects and our foreign aid helps pay the corporations. Our military has trained the henchmen of dozens of dictators and once again our tax dollars are used. One of the first covert actions taken by our CIA was the over through of Iran’s democratically elected government in 1953. Our press was silenced by our oil companies and our State Department labeled the Iranian people as radicals. Our educational system conveniently omits damaging history from our text books. Special interest groups have quietly taken control of the Peoples House and we the voters have been reduced to performing nothing more than a ritual by voting. The 50% of us who do not vote have decided that it is pretty much a waist of time and in many cases a loss...
