Dan, you are absolutely right, the show was edited to be controversial. It's basically a manipulation of the participants and viewers by showing the extremes. You have a right to your opinions and you should know, that it's very easy for people to take pot shots at you with negative comments while they are sitting safely on their butts behind their computers. Especially if they don't agree with your politics. If a producer and show staff were filming my life and others on this discussion board, we could all look pretty bad, including I imagine, Ms. Trudy. Or it could be far worse, boring entertainment. Good luck with your life!
