Without recourse to the “thread” as I said before My television watching is very limited. My time is taken by other things. Wednesday, I rode my bike to Tulsa, stood a flag line for a KIA. Fifty-nine of us with flags fighting a strong headwind escorted the body to Bartlesville at highway speeds. Today, we conducted funeral ceremonies with 679 bikes in attendance; Christian, veterans, and not so respectful groups some might even call gangs. Tried to keep peace (no fights) between protesters and anti-protesters. Only had one person get in my face. Rode through probably thousands of people who supported the family of the dead, which tells me that the spirit of America is still alive. Day started at six and ended with supper at the Mason’s at five thirty. Why would I ever want to waste my time with television? Oh, we too have our women bikers but, they are noted for driving skills.

[Thanks for sharing. It would have been nice had you written up your thoughts on such an event for BAB on this Veteran’s Day. Next year?]

One of my wife’s television shows is about a female police detective with a very good memory. “Unforgetable” This week’s version was about a man who killed a girl because she found out he was going to kill a man being charged with “Involuntary Manslaughter” because eight people died in his paint manufacturing business (I think) Two of the dead were the killer’s father and brother. He didn’t mean to kill her, he’s a good guy you know. The detective talks him out of killing the CEO, and walks him to jail where he will be tried for the murder of the girl. Justice rules, no problem but, there is this aftertaste that the CEO was the really guilty person and the poor killer was just an unfortunate victim of circumstance. When in actuality the CEO probably had no real effect on the fire starting in the first place. I don’t think that was the intent of the show but, there is a lot of ‘the businessman is a criminal just waiting to work his evil deed, if the good government official doesn’t stop him.’ projection in the television industry today.

The depths of some of these celebrities lives is depressing. MJ was cursed from childhood with being the star attraction in a disjointed family. He had the talent (TALENT??) that attracted the money so he evolved into this wierd, pampered thing with nobody around to tell him no. Dr. Murray was just one of the leaches that thrived on MJ’s money and is a character duplicated many times, especially in showbiz circles. The whole business is rotten. The participants are rotten and a population who showers millions of dollars on a skinny legged wierdo with a falsettto voice and is obviously a sicko is probably the most rotten in the equation.

Put my money where my mouth is and bought “Cannibal’s Pot” from Amazon.

[Thanks, Prof. Looking forward to your review too.]
