I really miss Larry Linville. It is amazing to me how you can dislike a character like Frank Burns and then after the man who embodies that character is gone you realize the genius of his portrayal.

Yep. I know a lot of actors. They all say comedy is harder than drama, and playing an unpleasant person is harder than playing a pleasant one. Linville was a highly talented, highly skilled actor who did the hardest stuff and made it look easy.
I just wanted to start from scratch without giving anyone ideas or putting words in people's mouths. I have one or two difficult questions.
I can respect that philosophy. But I do have one or two problems. Do you believe man is the supreme being on the planet?
I think man is the smartest being on this planet. I don't believe man is the supreme being of this planet. The planet would get along much better without us.
P.S: JLM you can ask me anything you want. All I ask is that it be as respectful as I try to be in my responses and interactions with you.
I don't think you'll find me disrespectful. I have many more questions than answers simply because I don't know anything about our destiny. We agree that man is the most intelligent 'concrete' inhabitant on the planet, but what I have a problem with is all the processes that are much more intricate than anything man could have planned. Getting back to "souls" whatever that is I can accept that man has a soul, but what about a dog or a cat? But then you get down to reptiles and mosquitoes..................do they really have 'souls'? I can't see it myself. Then we get back to why are we here? We don't feed any other species (unless by misfortune), while most other species provide food for someone/thing.
When it comes down to it I do not care (translation - I do not give a fiddlers Fuk) what a persons beliefs are- Religious- Atheist- Agnostic- I mean really.
It is only the few that are extreme in their beliefs,only a few of those. We have Atheists that are just as strident in their belief as a Fundie from Westboro Church. Not much difference.
I do find that some take great pleasure in assigning all those with religious beliefs into one little box.
The comments are in all the threads- If you are a Christian, ya must be a Fundie- Same with Judaism, Islam and others.
Some people should think about the one size fits all bit that they subscribe to.
Bout as polite as I can be.
