Good to hear from you again Stefan,

It's hard describing what a guru is but it's a spiritual guide/teacher. When you think guru think Yoda from Stra Wars, kind of like that (I think you can see that cozad is much better at definitions than I am).

Yes Stefan it was "gorilla" (not ape, because it would've sounded funny at the moment because he was talking to an ape [lol]) And I guess Brent was kind of rude to Cornilius and Zira. Taylor was a little in the first one also, as he tells Cornilius a few times (or only once) to shut up.

I really don't know if studios are aware of online petitions, but a few times I've seen some petitions requesting things and the studios have done it (it was either a major coincidence or the studios really see them) I don't even know if my petition is posted on petition online because I've made a few other petitions before and never saw them on there. I figured I would have a little luck posting it on this message board and planetoftheapesonline. And thanks for being the first one to sign my petition : ). (I hope more people sign it, it's not looking good right now but then again it's only been up for a day). Thanks for noticing my errore, I guess I got a little too excited while writing it, and I don't think I can edit it : (.

Later,

Well, about people suffering and dieing at a young age; this is just my personal beliefe, I believe that the soul is eternal. Thus, while the body may be young and the brain unformed the soul is perfectly formed and whole and normal. But when it comes into this life it's unformed brain and body are not able to yet facilitate all the wisdom of the fully formed soul. I could be wrong (how can you know unless youve journeyed beyond this life and than come back) but I think such souls that are taken away from us too early come here for a specific reason; maybe for the people who are here now; people who have come into this life to love and care for such a soul for a short time. And I beleive that even a short painful life will somehow perfect that soul as it journies through eternity. Perhaps that soul will choose (as I beleive each soul chooses) to come back into another life with greater insight or else it will choose to remain in the after life and learn in other ways or be a guide to souls that choose to become incarnate in this life or somewhere else in the universe. Listen, I don't pretend to have all the answers. I just bring up these ideas to sudgest that their is more in heaven and on earth than is drempt of in your philosphy Haratio (I'm paraphrasing Hamlet by the way).
Linda sudgested something else to me. She said God's law is the law of love. We should love out naighbor as ourselves. You can't do one without the other. You transgress as much against God's law if you love your naighbor but fail to love yourself as when you love yourself but fail to love your naighbor. You can't do one without the other and if you to only one or neither you go against God's law and have suffering. I think that is what Linda is saying. I think their is meaning in love. However, I disagree with Linda somewhat. That is, I think that souls that come into this life have chosen ahead of time; before they take on a physical body, that they will be either care givers or they will afford caregivers the oportunity to learn what they need to learn by allowing themselves to be cared for and loved by those souls that choose to come into life as caregivers. In my case I have been both a care giver and, at the same time, have had my own illnesses and had to allow myself to be cared for. This has been a humbeling experience. It has tought me both love and humility. So you can be both; you dont't have to be one or the other. But I think this is done volantarily before the soul becomes incarnate.

Well, about PLAYBOY, I don't have a hang-up about nudity persay but yes I don't patronize PLAYBOY. Its not out of any moral objections. I just don't get into it. I think its sexier if something is left to the emagination. When you see it all right there before you the mystery is over and so is the fun. I like a good looking woman in a bikini though!

Oh, I was just jokeing about the Yasmeen Bleeth forum. Yes, I remember you telling me about the fate of her real forum. Well, not that she's makeing a comeback maybe they'll start another. I agree Linda's the best; better than all the rest!
