Yeah, M. Ted, I know it does seem fortunate, but remember this is not an open access database they are creating; they will be selling subscriptions at $1,250 a pop and expect to sell at least 7,000 of those, so they are talking about quite a bit of money on an annual basis.

Funny that you should suggest writing an original piece which might oppose that of another; that's exactly why they picked my piece up. The book it was used in is Violence in the Media: Current Controversies, my viewpoint was used opposite of Senator Hatch's. My original article can be read HERE, but for some reason the type is set huge, so be forwarned. Also, they did a very small amount of editing, but it's very close to the original.

Thanks,
