I was also disappointed in some aspects. In defense, however, I know 
from being interviewed that Jason tried to find and get interviews with 
a lot more people than what are on the documentary. He asked me several 
times before I finally agreed and then asked if I knew how to contact 
several other people that he wanted to interview. I'm sure that many of 
the people he tried to find were either impossible to locate or flat 
told him to shove it. I agree that the program could have been more 
positive, but one works with what they have. :)

I think that the future is yet to be written and those of us that remain 
will write the future. In reality, there is only past and future since 
the present instantly becomes the past. Even then, the future is only 
something that we can look towards. :)

Perhaps, in 10 or 20 more years, some "Jason" will come along and ask 
you for an interview. ;)
