The Interview

"The Interview". I can write about the fact that canceling this movie is an affront to our freedom of speech, or how if we give in to terror, terror wins.  Instead, I will focus on emails.  These hackers, evil and maniacal, are ingenious  They knew who to hit, when and where.  They did not just scare Americans into not seeing a movie (or intriguing those that would not have seen the movie into trying to fine it somewhere), they purposely revealed the insiders' view of movie making and Sony.  It shows that these executives, actors and producers have it all;they are rich, famous, talented and lucky.  But, interestingly, they are not particularly smart.  I say that because from the first day we are connected to that magic box (access to a computer) we are taught what web sites to stay off of (hence the reason for the above comment that you seek what you cannot have)  and NEVER to put anything in e-writing because it is there FOREVER and will be used against you everywhere for all time and eternity. We all know or should know this, but alas, no. Nothing is personal and everything is up for "forwarding".  There are so many lessons to be learned from this episode, most of which still has yet to be played out, but perhaps in addition to refraining or at least editing your emails, maybe we need to be more tolerant and nicer to each other.  That would be a great sequel for the world to see.
