13. I Generally Enjoy Ken Burns' Work

He's talented & insightful, & I've learned something new from each of his films that I've seen. But I'm not interested in his WWII piece.

I was born eight years to the day after Hitler killed himself. I've had The Greatest Generation's damned war shoved down my throat all my life, from the movies I saw, the TV shows I watched, the toys I played with, the library books I read, the whole world I lived in. I'm sick to death of it.

We have other problems with which to deal. Endlessly wallowing in America's last good time isn't going to help.
