OK, I see. Religious responses to crisis are observable. I remember right after 9-11 a couple of evangelists I worked around were talking about revelations and holy war at a work lunch. I have to admit I had my own personal irrational response on the drive to work on that day.

I stopped watching TV about 2 years ago. Before that I tried to avoid watching TV. I just found it too hyperactive and unfocused. Shows like NOVA went down the tubes and similar PBS programming turned into “reality” type programming or a game show. Part of the overall dumbing down of America you can say.

Another thing I dislike is the music they dub into TV programming which takes control of the aural experience. Sometimes the bass is too high and it’s more of a music video than anything. Shaky cams’, still images flashing all over the place, it’s almost like watching TV is a self induced seizure.
