Finally, after watching the new film about Harvey Weistein called She Said, I have the courage to put it out there to the community. I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

He was a polarizing figure in an age of women's liberation as he was somewhat old fashioned and some might label him mysoginistic. But what always stood out for me was that in ANY situation he remained gracious and accomodating to everyone. He never put anyone down or talked down to them. We tend to forget that his generation lived through a worldwide depression and the horrors of WWII when hunger, desease and suffering where a common thread. Men like him may be considered old fashioned and out of touch by today's standards, but I dare say the world was made a little better by them. May he rest in peace!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226827679284545069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786817661804887374.post-52804654452800249162012-04-01T02:50:37.699-07:002012-04-01T02:50:37.699-07:00How many people can you say would have 6 naked bea...How many people can you say would have 6 naked beautiful women watering his tropical gardens.<br />He told everyone of them he loved them and wanted to marry them, and of course they believed him, his Viking bed I would imagine was convincing.
