Local news, heck. I was thinking about the war. Can you imagine the news reports during the Vietnam "Conflict"...

"This just in, 1,208 troops died in combat today. I'm sorry, make that 1,677. No, 2,359. 3,421. The number keeps rising! Quick, back to you, Jane."

Halo 3, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Counter Strike, yup, I'm with you guys. This is why I tend to stick to CNN and FOX News. Local stuff is just too depressing.

Rich, you must be talking about channel 9. Fake-a-rama... And yes, I must admit, I love killing whilst playing Halo 2, so there you go... I'm guilty.

Murder!? I love Halo 3, btw. Moving from a media market that was one of the smallest in CA to here in SoCal is very funny. Does news really need cleavage?

I vaguely remember this Marilyn Manson quote from around the time of the Columbine shootings. He, of all people, said something about how the world isn't getting more violent, it's just getting more televised.

There is this chart in my college Sociology book that shows a decline in violent crime since the 1970's. A decline?!

Brooke and I haven't had cable in over 5 years and haven't bothered to hook "rabbit ears" up to our t.v. since we cut the cord. I'd say my morale has improved.
