Path Pt. 2
Yes, I sat through it, and Leerless Feeder's address. By the end, I wondered why I felt compelled to relive that horror. I mean, I have never listened to John Adams' On the Transmigration of Souls. I've heard a bit, enough to guess that he did that about as well as it could be done, but the taste was enough to tell me to stay well away, for my mental health.
The worst part: after the sheeple were good and riled up, ABC had to have an "investigative report" saying that they were shocked, SHOCKED that people could still buy ammonium nitrate. Oh yeah, lobby your congressman, screw the farmer. I turned in late, and in bad humor.

Personal theory: ABC purposely did this as "proof" they weren't a left leaning news organization.
The sad thing is that the Clinton administration did screw up some things, and therefore there was no need to invent incidents if you wanted to get the point across that they did screw things up.
That said, I didn't watch either night. I wouldn't have even if I was at home, but I wasn't, so I didn't.
I'm treating myself to rereading 1984, which I haven't read in so many years it's practically brand new to me. And so much of it resonates with what goes on today....
