Summary: In response to comments from Roy Jacques
Review: When you suggest that I am ignorant of the injustices visited on the Jews I assume you are talking about the Holocaust. Yes, I am well aware of the Holocaust. As "Salt..." was not about genocide I do not understand what your point was mentioning it in your review.

Many readers have disparaged my previous review, but I would point out that NONE have refuted it. The movies' time has passed, period. The labor movement is not what it was 50 years ago. I am not "wrathful" when I point this out, I merely state fact.

As proof I would point out that modern unions are not the benevolent institution portrayed in this film. When my county was unionized all county workers had to join the union or be fired. Once we were all signed on and paying monthly dues our benefits were slashed, and the union representative stopped returning our phone calls. Nothing like that appeared in "Salt..." of course, perhaps nothing like that happened in 1954, but it happens now WHICH WAS MY POINT!. If you feel my review is inadequate, please do not attack me. Instead, try to show how "Salt..." has any value for modern audiences (with the obvious exception of labor activists and college students who have never been enslaved by a union).
