This is going to be an earth shattering revelation but television holds the potential for such great good but bows down to the popular pressure and has the whole country watching reality (gag cough) shows like they are the fix for everything. How embarassing for a couple to be yelling at each other on international TV. There are times when I truly am embarassed to admit I am a television engineer. I wonder whether the current terrorist movements are not a direct result of TV coverage gone amuck. It covers the bad guys and shows other idiots how to be bad too. This is one that you can fix, though. Start writing to TV executives and let them know how really angry you are. They listen to groups of people and so do sponsors. You can make a difference.

Nuclear power is a problem for me in that there has been little real thought in disposing of the waste. Although all of us want the electricity, we are not really concerned about the consequences. I believe we need to look to the future of energy and stop thinking that our natural resources are unlimited.
OK, I'll step down now and let someone else have the soapbox for a while.
