Finally watched Dirty Money.....did anyone else
feel the suicide of Palfrey(sp)...to be pretty disturbing?....Actually sad!

I saw Dirty Money when it was originally aired a couple of weeks ago.  As I recall, the Palfrey matter was only mentioned in passing, but I had followed that story when it was hot.  ABC News was set to run with that last year, then backed off at the last minute.  It was apparent that the true dirt from that story would have stained many from our illustrious federal government, and that the story was squelched.  I agree that the Palfrey suicide was tragic, if it was indeed a suicide, and not a murder.  Either way, it is the faux shame that society and religion attaches to sexuality that is truly most disturbing, and IMO, disgusting...

Many lives across this nation have been, and continue too be ruined or snuffed out thanks to ridiculous puritanical dogma, wholly unsubstantiated drug laws, and usurpation of the government's power to tax.

the flow of cash. To see DHS / IRS and NSA cooperating on such a grand scale to track the movement of cash is disturbing. I see the "take" from this type of investigation, and it is a useful tool in counter-terror. However, it is also a huge blunt instrument that the government wields in some cases where only free speech or certain charitable giving patterns are involved. And, it is a tool that has the potential of being used against the transactions that make the hobby work.

See the link below to the page on CNBC's website that includes excerpts from the program, as well as the schedule for upcoming replays... 12/14 and 12/25 (!), both at 10 PM EST.  Since the cable networks often replay their scheduled programs three hours later so that the West Coast audience can watch in primetime, they will probably replay them at 1 AM on those dates as well...

From those of us who knew her personally - it was not a suicide.

In case anybody cares, it's on CNBC again as we speak. It started at 8 PM EST and I've been tuning in and out of it.
