This is about one week, one summer, one year. But, if you can
explain
how
you came up with "all his life", maybe I'll entertain your bizarre
theory.

This is the example you've chosen for now. Last week it was a

ever

a

He was taught to question and/or torment authority at exactly the

age
when he was able to do it successfully. He's done it quite well..

Whatever you say, John. However, you should contemplate your odd need to
toss 7th grade responses at people because you think it helps you "win".
When your wife returns from her "tennis lesson", ask her about your odd

Only in your imagination, John. I'll make you a deal: Try turning off your
television for one week, and see if that helps you come up with responses
that are worthy of an adult. Something's turning your brains to oatmeal. TV?
Old age? Lack of use?

Can't do that. I just checked out all the Ken Burns "Civil War" series..
They're due back in 7 days.

Sorry.

You are getting the responses you deserve. Actually, much more than you
deserve.

Ken Burns? He's to the left of Michael Moore. Really.- Hide quoted text -

First of all, that's pure bull****.

No it is not. I know him personally and have for a very long time.

Oh, ****, another lobster boater, just what we need.
I
don't think he makes a practice of spouting his beliefs every time
there is a camera in front of him like many other celebrities, but
he's pretty far to the left. I was surprised when he publically
endorsed Obama - both because he usually keeps these thngs to himself,
and because Obama is pretty conservative compared to Where Ken's
thoughts reside.

Bull**** again.

Second of all, what does someone's
poliitcal persuasion have to do with their ability to accurately
portray events as they happened in a riveting manner?

Oh, you don't know what the word "documentary" means? I'll give you a
hint: It's pretty hard to find one that DOESN'T have a point of view
behind it.

I know perfectly well what "documentary" means. Perhaps you don't. In
television or film or other media, it is the re-creation of an ACTUAL
EVENT. Ie: the truth.

Historical accounts in any form are pretty subjective. There was a
teacher in our local High School who got in a bit of trouble for
teaching 10th graders the history of the American Revolution from the
standpoint of the British.- Hide quoted text -

======================


What if the person telling the story didn't actually witness the original
event? Wouldn't that make it impossible to create a documentary, based on
your strict definition?

Gosharoonie, I've read at least two dozen major tomes on the Civil War,
and all of them differed from each other in small or significant ways in
describing many of the same events. Burns' "Civil War" was much more a
relating of the personal and anecdotal than a comprehensive retelling of
the orders of battle and the politics. That's what made it so compelling
to so many people.

I see Herring is still insulting me, poor, old, worn-out p.o.s. that he is.

I've no problem with seeing more than one side of an event.

Read a few books about the French Revolution. It's a wonder the same event
can be seen so differently by historians.
