They don't make them like they use to, and with his intelligence and knowledge he has seen the outcome of American politics and society and change it has with our culture. Turner's idea's on Iran and peace keeping throughout the world shouldn't be taken for granted but seen as an opportunity to make a large impact on our world. He took 1 million years ago and turned it into billions today, could you do that? The answer is simply no, it takes more than a genius, or a hard worker but someone who is spiritually and ethically a good and honest person. If I were to say first impressions make the biggest difference I'm wrong. I had a bad first impression of Ted when I saw him on Charlie Rose two nights ago, though through thorough research (and not with the internet, it is the most unreliable source of information) I have come to find Mr. Turner as a very remarkable character and the best of luck to him and his future endeavours, if you by any chance read this Ted could you open up a restaurant down here?

As I understand it along with Jeremy Isaacs you were closely involved in producing the "CNN Cold War Series" which was honoured with the prestigious 1998 George Foster Peabody Award. It is now out of print and almost impossible to find. It was aired in UK by BBC at one time and was a truely landmark peice of documentary making. Can you comment on rumours I have heard on Amazons review page, that the reason it can no longer be bought easily is due to the fact 2 episodes "Solgiers of God" and "Freeze" were reclassified by US government as they contain embarrassing references to the US when they are seen to be then prasising & covertly arming Afganistan fighters against the Soviets. If this is true, then what comment do you have on US censorship of a historical document such as your critically acclaimed series. I hope the whole series will one day be released on DVD and get the credit it deserves. Dr Colin Sinclaire (UK) Dear Mr Ted Turner,

The only answer I will accept is your telling me that she was released from her contract to run for President. Why? Why? oh Why? I'm in Cullowhee, NC and we're not going to let you come back here to fly-fish in our Tuckaseegee River until you bring her back - and I say that with love in my heart. catherine (no relation) baker Mr. Turner - with all due respect, why did you replace Catherine Crier with Star Jones on your Court TV network?

You've done so much for the environment. Also, you've created companies that bring knowledge (good and bad) to light. You've created companies that help tell stories about elements of our world. You have brought news into our homes like no one else has. I propose that now you come onto the stage and play a character in a movie that can speak to the children of the world about the environment. I have that character and that movie and want you to put more than your time and your ideas and your money at risk. I want you to put your talent to the test. Why not?

I am not in the habit of spending anyone elses hard earned money, but the thought occured, if it really is car emmissions that are responsible for global warming, which I do not know yet to be true, but have heard the theory, has anyone suggested that emmission safe vehicles be made available to the public at a much reduced rate?

Said "early to sleep and early to rise" is key to success. Maybe better to say what is left out to create an environment condusive to success than to suggest creating an "artificial" environment.
