 It's a pity you have snipped your own post, because it would have enabled me
to demonstrate that you missed the point of my response. I wasn't talking
about historical integrity, I was talking about your opinion that went
something along the lines of,  "....movie companies shouldn't make profit
from personal tragedies..".  I was just suggesting that if any story
involving personal tragedy was off limits to dramatic recreation, there
wouldn't be much left but pretty boring stuff.	OK?
