Robert A. Heinlein from Napoleon's, "Never attribute to malice what can

That's better, I knew the version I had seen had "incompetence" in there.

1) Is there anything that happens today which doesn't instantly generate a
conspiracy theory to explain it?

2) How does anyone find enough programming worthwhile enough to care about
reception quality? If I were only able to watch a few hours of TV a week
that would probably be fine, just so long as This Old House and a couple of
other shows were on the list. Most of the rest lives up to the old "vast
wasteland" description the chairman of the FCC used so appropriately in
1961.

I remember 1961 and tv was a lot better then.


Well, the good news is you can get a load of that stuff on DVD.

Best, R.E.F.
