And so partially for that reason... I don't watch. I don't watch anything on ANS either (ick). I prefer not to be nauseous the whole day.
I recognize that is a negative thing for all involved. However, just like with 9-11, I really only appreciate the abstract aspects of it.... and I *live* in NYC, and have since before all that happened.
I'm sorry it happened. What's for breakfast?

move over, you're hogging the seat.
One of the best benefits of TIVO. I don't have to watch this stuff over and over again. I don't even have to see the news teasers. In fact, it's funny to watch Boston Legal in the summer time, and see a teaser for WinterSnowStorm 2006.
Though I do get my news online, even that I have learned to become more selective of what I read.
I don't need to "know" all about this asshole that did this. I don't need to know that he had cheerios that morning. No the person isn't deserving of my time. In my world he doesn't get his 15 minutes. In fact, I can't even tell you his name, and I'm trying to keep it that way.
