6. You spoke my mind.
I watched Olbermann, and after the dust settled in my head, I realized that what I had seen was average. Wild by today's standards, but as you said, just like we saw every night on the news when we were in a time gone by. I wanted to be thrilled, but to me it just seemed normal. But then I haven't poluted my senses with television in the last twenty years.

Well, that was not really what I wanted to say. What you said was absolutely perfectly stated. Thank you. That's all. We can work and hope that the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated, and we spend money on education and health care, instead of cluster bombs. Then, in time, we may begin to return to a time when we valued sophistication and truth.


I can't even do it. But I'm trying.
