   I agree with what you wrote. Burns has said he makes films, not documentaries. PBS shouldn't have relied on him to do a Vietnam "film", but I guess he still brings in the ratings. A good documentary on the Vietnam war would

   A few years back, I wondered: Why is it I believe in things no else agrees with? I seemed to look at the different schools of thought, pick the best one that answers as many questions as possible, and believe in it until something better co

    I think I'm beginning to understand. Thanks again for the replies. I'm going to have to think a lot of about what you have written. (My apologies if I kept mis-interpreting you and going off on the wrong tangents.)
