Me too Bill, for a while, but I've rather gotten to liking it now.  One 
thing is for sure though.  To drop into the vernacular, because of this 
internet thingy, we have a far better understanding of our fellow man than 
those who are spoon-fed their news by FOX, CNN et all.  Its obvious to us 
that the media has an agenda, and its not ours by any means.
