  I saw a movie late last night (monday night) that was
really very good.  Does anyone remember it?  It was called
'Meet John doe'.  It's about a newspaper-lady who makes
up a letter bout someone who is going to jum off a building.
she sends it in and the editor really likes it.  then they
get so many replies that she starts a sort of mini-series.
they have to do a radio series, so they get some guy to
do it.  so he does the speech axnd everyone likes it.  then
the big wig at the newspaper decided to but in and get all
the people who like this guy to vote for him in the next
election.  I wont tell you the ending, but it's a very good
movie.  watch it if you can.
