Listen uhhuh, I saw that movie with Thomas Jefferson and he fathered the baby. The rest is History as she's taught in your local public school.

FYI, History (or Herstory) as she is taught in your local public school, is the dismal record of bad things done to women and helpless minority groups by dead Western Christian European White Men, for which we must now pay. And pay some more.

Your attempted injection of politically incorrect facts into this thread could get us all in a heap'o'trouble. And don't let me catch you checking out those new Fords.

Years ago, I predicted that the constancy of television would eventually cause the public to demand programming of higher and higher quality until the Shakespeares, Bachs, and Sophocleses out there, instead of playing pinball machines, would begin satisfying the enlightened public's demand for great creative works.

I reasoned that, throughout history, wherever people had had ample leisure and resources, they had ultimately gravitated to fine art--that the human intellect, when not occupied with basic needs and survival, demanded finer and finer art to satisfy it--and that this would ultimate force an explosion of fine art from television.

I was wrong.
