Ono is right. John would not approve.

Interesting that Ben Stein, a conservative Republican and strong advocate of the capitalist system, feels it's ok to ignore the financial rights of others by using copyrighted material without paying for its use.

The filmmakers are appropriating John Lennon's song and giving it an agenda and a meaning that THEY impose on it. He wanted no politics, no conflict, and when it came to religion, he was in favor of the spiritual, but opposed to the power and the politics of religion.
Which is exactly what the Filmmakers are catering to.
Way to go Yoko. Hope this is found in your favor.

And that majority is who? I did not realize the majority of intelligent people wish for "b****s to die.
SO it is good to wish someone dead then?

WWJD?

If Jesus had been a documantary filmmaker, he would have asked Yoko Ono for permission if he’d wanted to use “Imagine” in his film. If she had said no, he would have respected her decision and found a way to make his film without it.
