Filmmakers let the Pentagon edit their scripts

Filmmakers let the Pentagon edit their scripts in exchange for rights to use government land and military equipment. Great article complete with hilarious "military mind" quotes. Need more government/pop culture collusion? N'SYNC is getting $800,000 in tax payer's money for an anti-drug campaign.

New Brill's Content has a big article on this same issue. I'd link to the article, but their whole site is a 404!?

I want to use drugs now, just because N'SYNC is doing that anti drug campaign. Oh wait... I do :)

Yeah, Independence Day was denied funding by the military because it mentioned Area 51. Our government is too powerful, and using our own tax dollars to help fund movies is not one of the focuses our government should have. Of course, it's easy to say that (to criticize the government), but it is not to the point where anyone is willing to do anything about it. I'm working on writing a book with a new philosophy, a new way of looking at things, that is deep rooted in freedom. Americans need to take America back.
