It makes me extremely sad and also scared for my grandkids. The sense of nostalgia that a lot of have when we come to TV also seems lost.

A lot of the appeal, at least to me, with TV are the little things. The friendliness, the sense of being in a safe place. Heck, even the stupid newspaper, which I love simply because it reminds me of times gone by. I don't know of anywhere in the country where they can print an inch thick paper every single day and manage to say absolutely nothing newsworthy. But that is just fine. It's like the Truman Show - our bubble. And I embrace it.

What makes me sad is that this idyllic pace of life may go away after we're all gone unless people start understanding that working for a living is the true key to success and happiness.

Ah, waxing poetic....
