TV Hawkeye or Movie Hawkeye?

So who played the better Hawkeye in MASH: Alan Alda on TV or Donald Sutherland in the movie? I love the movie MASH. It was hilarious, and I used to want to get the DVD so I could watch it more often. That is what I did when it came to the Great Escape. The TV Hawkeye turned into an old preachy dork who was supposed to be a ladies’ man but was BORING! Alda was supposed to be this MR. Sensitive and it really got on my nerves. Ugh! Sutherland’s Hawkeye was my favorite. Well, now I do not want to buy the MASH movie. Donald Sutherland has just turned me off. Read the below URL.

Honestly, I can overlook a disagreement with a person and still be there friend. One of my best friends is pro-choice. He is not anti-life or pro-abortion, he just does not believe life starts right at conception and thinks abortion is OK as long as it is before the point where a baby can live on its own. I disagree, but that is not the end all of our friendship or discussions.

I could not be a friend, however, with someone that acknowledges that babies lives start and conception and yet can and should be killed if the baby life support system (commonly incorrectly referred to as the “mother”) feels inconvenienced. I also cannot be a friend with someone who only wants to talk about that disagreement, rub it into my face all the time, or make a big public display about the belief.

That is enough with my analogy, now to my point.

I feel the same way with media folks. Donald Sutherland can have an opinion about things, and can even hold one that disagrees with mine. What I hate is that:
1) His opinion is so outlandish and crazy
2) He has to wag his opinion out there, acting as if he is an intellectual and that his opinion matters on a grand scale.

HOW ANNOYING.
SHUT UP AND ACT you ancient dumb ass.

Where is Alan Alda? Oh yeah, he is on the West Wing now, playing a conservative presidential candidate with a heart. Hmm….
