Re: [TruthTalk] The Right Way To Get To The Truth

Hi Judy, no real disagreements concerning "Seinfeld" the show, except to say that Seinfeld himself knew what he was doing: his point being, this is not the stuff that matters. His agenda was not to provide an escape into fantasy; rather, it was a wake-up call to a sleeping audience. Not one thing on that show had any bearing on what he considered the important things; it's about how people can get caught up in the side bars of life and never ever get out of or beyond them to the stuff that really matters. He wanted people to say, "Oh, I get it. There's got to be something bigger than this. This cannot be what life is all about." It was when his audience failed to 'get it' that he became discouraged and called an end to it. Not to change your mind about the show -- you are right, it was risqu� -- I just thought you might like to know what he was attempting to communicate.   Bill     ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 4:33 PM Subject: [TruthTalk] The Right Way To Get To The Truth   Izzy PS Does reading Ann Landers conflict with walking in the fear of a holy God? (Just kidding!)   jt: It may but I've not been convicted about it so far. I find her column interesting because she answers letters from real people with problems even if some do sound over the top.  I don't watch Seinfeld but am aware that the subject matter is risque and that the stories have nothing to do with reality. So it is, in fact,  an escape into fantasy.  Good question though -
