Re: Debate, Doug, Debate
Dear Mr. Lowenstein:
I watched The People vs. Larry Flynt last night, and it reminded me of this: If Larry Flynt can handle debating Jerry Falwell, you can certainly handle debating me.
The two of them, several years ago did debate one another, and the nation was the richer for it. Don’t be afraid of the First Amendment, Doug. It works.
Regards, Jack Thompson

Dear Doug,
Please, please debate me. I can't get the cameras to come unless you do, and I really want the cameras to come. Come on man.
Does it bother anyone else that Jack was watching The People vs. Larry Flynt. I mean think about it, either he's a total closet porn nut, and the film is casual entertainment for him(which is funny but disturbing), or he really is as uptight as plays himself, and the film is porn to him. Equally disturbing thought.
