When Did We Forget about Peace?
and begin worrying about celebrities. When did we begin listening and worrying about what others thought about our beliefs?

When was it more important to watch tv than it was to create reality?

1. This is the land of "American Idol" and "Survivor"
Americans have been more interested in fake reality than the real one for a long time.

2. I noticed in the late seventies . . .
. . . that people started living in front of the TV. I was in college, and made the conscious decision to curtail my TV watching to a movie a week. Because I was interested in learning about LIFE! I've stuck to it, and I don't regret it. I haven't had a "virtual life" as a result, and I have several friends who are the same way.

Good post.

6. It sure seems that way sometimes
they answer questions that only the RW pigroids are asking, and they get a hundred responses to their questions.

Life is strange.
