Bill, learning to differentiate from the "NOISE" that you hear on tv every day, or better yet, learning to tune out what you see and hear everyday and learning to observe the people that you run across in your day to day activities are two of the best things that you can do as a person.
I can accept that you do not understand that your viewpoint might not necessarily be a viewpoint of the majority, but I don't believe that you can accept the fact that perhaps, everybody does not agree with what you perceive to be the truth. I do not personally believe in the conspiracy theories abounding as you appear to believe. We are in Iraq and we are fighting muslim extremists because these muslim extremists directly attacked us on our own soil and I believe that they did this because they fear the loss of the stranglehold that they have over their citizens. We are doing the right thing by continuing to fight in Iraq. I don't like violence anymore than anybody else, but even you would agree that if we want democracy to prevail, we need to stop what Iran, Syria and North Korea are doing their best to do and that is my belief. Now belief's are like ????oles and everybody has one, so there is always the possibility that mine could be wrong and I accept that. I'm just not sure that you accept the possibility that your belief could be wrong ?

Virgil, I prefer 'easy listening' music and have it on most of the time (like right now), but we very much need windows into the world around us. Because pictures still trump words for most people, that screen remains firmly center-stage as our information supply - and thought-control device - once you see it that way (need I mention again that it was that device that greased the path to an invasion that most people now regret). Blast me for saying this too many times, but how many times have you heard that on the TV? To the extent that the device wanted to heal itself, shows like Imus' were a glimmer of light and hope, but now he's been extinguished. Not to rush to judgment, but I *think* I'm seeing a commensurate "play-down" of "news" related that war these last few days on MSNBC. Look at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ right now to see a sex-related lead story - at the same time that war is in shambles. Clearly, the warmongers want to bury their disaster by diverting attention to - of course - anything-that-smacks-of-sex stories, while they come up with yet another ridiculous, disingenuous plan (how about that we now need a "war czar"?). I never figured Imus to be much of a hero. Frankly, when I did have his show on, too often I thought it was boring, but now that his light is turned off, and I look around for TV alternatives - and don't see any - I'm realizing that he deserved more credit then he was getting.
