  •  Why do you think he even knows the facts? (0+ / 0-)

    Have you taken the time to carefully explain the details, explain the authors relationship to Rush Limbaugh, tell him what Albright and Clarke have said? How long have you known all the details? A day, two days? Take off your angry hat and see that this is a good human being with a lot on his plate right now. But he is also a dedicated Democrat who if he had all the facts before him would certainly do the right thing. But all you have done is to assume that he was in on the plot from the beginning and accused him of that. NO One likes being accused of something that they didn't do. No one appreciates angry accusatory emails with no concrete evidence.

    Try writing this man a thoughtful letter explaining in detail why this program is bad and asking for his help. Give him as much evidence as you can. Then see what he does or says. He might surprise you.

    And he is delegating right now and that might, in fact, be part of the problem.

    •  Look Bill Clinton is public with his opposition (0+ / 0-)

      to this. The Disney top brass met behind closed doors all weekend to discuss damage control. There been a flurry of letters to ABC, Disney, Apple, BBC, Scholastic, and many others involved. I personally have written to all of them, including three of Steve's email addresses. Not even the courtesy of acknowledgement of receipt, which I at least got from some of the others.

      If Jobs doesn't know personally, he's on his death bed, and then there's someone else running Apple in his stead. This stuff on iTunes is unacceptable for any reason whatsoever.

      •  Clinton only went public today (0+ / 0-)

        I got receipt from some of my emails, too. And they were automated. If Mr. Jobs has actually had a minute to read through the hundred of angry knee-jerk threatening emails which you have encouraged to send him, I don't think he's had much chance to sit down and write a reply to each one. Here are some other questions for you. Who is the person/people/department/ at Apple which is in charge of content for iTunes? How do you contact them? Have you contacted them, with a cc to Jobs? That might work.

        •  I have long experience in writing complaints (0+ / 0-)

          I learned from experience that if you want action you write to the CEO. The buck stops there. Otherwise you get form letters from flunkies and your message goes in the circular file. Every CEO's office has a staff that reads these letters and lets the CEO know when a critical mass of correspondence is reached on an issue. Belive me, these guys know about this, and now we'll see who acts. Scholastic is already backing down. Apple has yet to do so. Keep the pressure on.

          Live unity, celebrate diversity.
