It is clear to me, on this grim anniversary that if I put the TV on,

I will spend the whole day wanting to punch professional talkers in the mouth. The see-saw cadence, the shaking of heads, the question "What did you see?" "How did you feel?"

disgusting

surrounded by upscale suburban blight, wealthy Lake County manages a system of wonderful preserves like this, while preventing total environmental degradation

your tax dollars at Work!

I hope it gets renewed as we are approaching its season finale. Those of you that haven't watched it - I suggest you catch it on your "On Demand" or check out if it is on-line somewhere. It mixes politics and sci-fi. It is both topical and comical as well. Well scripted and well acted. Overall a very well put together program.

That we are the ONLY nation in history to which anything bad has EVER happened, and the ONLY nation in history EVER hit by massive terrorist attacks.

EVER.

Now get back to waving that bloody shirt, citizen!

Few Americans give that brazen crime against humanity, committed by their own government, a second thought.

we just wallow in self pity. We never get around to asking why it happens and what the real solutions would be.

We put pithy bumper stickers on our cars. Problem solved.

Ridiculous. I won't even turn the TV on at all unless it's to watch something I choose on my Roku box.
