I am glad that it contained more than that, but it really didn't have to. If there's anything that better captures where the media stands right now than the fact that it seems to believe people driving to work want to hear idiots fake-giggling at nothing, I don't know what it might be.<br /><br />I could type all night on that, but I won't. I will say that I like this post a lot. I, too, watch very little television, none of it anything "informative" or "popular". I do watch old stuff like "Northern Exposure" or some of Michael Palin's travel things, but really nothing anyone else is watching.<br /><br />You're right: there's just so much noisy babble and negativity and claims on energy. You're also right that the work situation can be extremely draining. It hit me today (and I was alone when it hit me, oddly enough) that the people least likely to have any concern for you tend to be the same people for whom every little quirk in life makes an epic tale to be repeated on and on. You are right; stay away from them. Sometimes kindness isn't worth it.<br /><br />You have me thinking a lot, sir. I'll shut up and continue thinking. Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
