for

>I'm not sure is the humor is less nasty as much as less subtle.

Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense. Oh, smoo.

I've heard that there's one person inside the costume, one person controlling
the facial expressions, and a third person doing the character's voice 
(hence having three people for each dinosaur like the ending credits say)

What the hell could they POSSIBLY be thinking by pre-empting one
of the few unique and well done shows for yet another entry into
the "Who can make the most boring and generic sitcom" contest
currently being undertaken by the networks.

Don't you mean "smoo"?

Is anyone sure whether smoo is a noun or a verb?  "HEY, smoo you, buddy!"
Or is it "Don't give me that smoo!"?  Just curious.

And in our Dinosaurs vs Simpsons debate, my impression (and the more I think 
about it, the less I can defend it, but it is my first impression) is that 
Simpson's take more shots at the family, and particular situations, whereas 
Dinosaurs take more shots at societal institutions. And you know, the more I 
think about it, the less important it is to me. I like them both, and I would 
hate to have to choose between them.

While I'm blathering.... I know that Ethyl is Florence Stanley, but I swear 
that it's the late Selma Diamond, the ? on "Night Court" (Roz, about two 
actresses ago.)  Okay I'll shut up now.

It's all very amusing if you ask me.  If future generations watch either
one of these shows in rerun, they won't get half the jokes.  I must
confess to the following heresy.  I think that the Simsons is a little bit
better.  The humor is nastier.  I think that Dinosaurs suffers from a 
certain political blandness that comes from its Walt Disney affiliation.
They won't step out with really good nasty political humor the way that
the Simsons do.

(an excerpt from the liner notes)

Poor Slobs with Terrible Jobs

Sung by Earl Sinclair, Roy Hess, B.P. Richfield, and the Workers
Music by Ray Colcord
Lyrics by Lorraine Feather
Arranged by Richard Bellis

We're poor slobs with terrible jobs
Boy, we're living crummy lives
An hour to crunch on a wriggly lunch
Courtesy of our scaly wives

Chorus:
Poor slobs
Terrible jobs

We're poor slobs with terrible jobs
Pushin' down a million trees
We're scared to quit
And on top of it
When the climate changes
We'll all freeze

(Chorus)

I could have been a marine biologist
Made friends with all the fishies somehow
Or maybe even an ornithologist
And studied the birds we're evicting now

(Chorus)

Poor slobs with terrible jobs
Push 'em and they fall
What'll we do when the work is through
And there aren't any trees at all?

(Chorus)

Sometimes I wonder if it's advisable
To push down forests full of trees
This swamp will hardly be recognizable
Maybe we could spare just a few of these

We're poor slobs with terrible jobs
Someone tell us, please
Is it too late to change our fate
To reverse our destinies?

Poor slobs
Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible
We're just poor slobs

(c) Copyright 1992 Walt Disney Music Company (ASCAP)

The tune is fun, sorta "BUMP-pa BUMP-pa BUMP-pa BUMP-pa" in flavor.

I think this problem is similar to the behavior people exhibit when

Steve, I thought your words were very wise and I enjoyed reading them first thing this
morning.  

I think a lot of people do have a tendancy to try to supress important parts of themselves
while yearning to become more "spiritual" or "religious".  They deny their physical/emotional being
and the true "is-ness" of that being.....which includes sexuality, love, anger, need, 
fear, etc.

IMHO, the symbol of the yin-yang represents the physical and spritual state together, creating
the balance, not the denial of either one. Same with the "Masculine" and "Feminine" within all of us.

As far as anger or intense emotions are concerned, once you can feel them both emotionally, physically and intellectually you can then deal with them and let them go. Your correct in the belief
that internal supression does not lead to peace, in fact it is the other way around. Of course, I am speaking of generally 
healthy people as opposed to Ted Bundy types...

Also, we must not forget the importance of humor, which seems to
be lacking in this generation of Zen-ists....

Remember: life gives us many situations and opportunities to 
learn and grow, sometimes in seemingly contradictory ways.
The methods may vary, but the state of growth is consistant.
