Suzanne,

I say Kudos to David Letterman for his compassion! I hope he's out there with the writers, standing firm.

As a side note, here's a good reason why the writers are striking for royalties from the new media sources like the internet: Songwriters who do not perform the songs that they wrote get royalties for what they wrote, every time their song is played publicly, including all forms of the new media. As an example, if Edwin McCain's hit I Could Not Ask For More gets played on the internet, ASCAP & BMI track it, then they pay Diane Warren her share of the royalty she's due. If someone plays Whitney Houston's How Will I Know, George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam, and Narada Michael Walden each get a cut of the royalty. Now, I hope this sheds some light on why the screenwriters want a fair cut deal for themselves too.

Yes, I hope all these guys keep on stepping up with the writers too...Conan, Carson Daily, you name them...I hope they back their writers!

Great job Suzanne! Just so you know, I have some former classmates from Cal State Long Beach who work in the film industry. I'm sure they're out there picketing too.

Actually, Leno is a great American and he has done things for his fellow writers but differently than Letterman. Before you go prejudge someone make sure you have all the facts. There are many things that Leno has done as well for the writers and under the line talents as well, you just don't hear about a lot of things because it doesn't need to be publicized. Leno has been threatened by NBC to be canned asap for sticking with the writers, and that is the start for him, so please go easy on the guy. He is a very nice and pleasant breath of fresh air as a fellow American and he has done many grand things for many people in need.

In rural southern Illinois a toy company began selling "realistic" baby dolls to expectant mothers. But apparently after the mother had her child the toy baby would start crying. Eventually the "rocking motion" advertised to calm it down wouldn't work, and you couldn't get it to stop without shaking it. Eventually when it started crying the parent would have to beat it, and the beatings and thrashings would have to get harder and harder to get it to be quiet. The only thing that seemed to shut the baby doll up permanently was the bash its head against the wall to destroy whatever mechanism triggered the crying. On more than one occasion though, neighbors called the authorities to report child abuse, and when the police arrived they found the the bloody remains of infants smeared across the walls and the floor. In most cases the mother couldn't understand why the police were there, she just "got rid of the stupid doll" as she rocked a baby-shaped bundle in her arms.
