THANKS FOR NOTHING by Steve Nadis

First our society went overboard on the "sorries," with people thinking they could apologize for abominations like the Holocaust and slavery. Now we're drowning in "thank you's." At the end of a TV show last night (a police drama, if you must know, though I don't watch TV; it just happened to be on) an unseen announcer said: "Thanks for watching." We are also thanked at the conclusion of every single TV news shows, though again I should stress that I don't watch TV news, which in my town consists solely of "deadly fire" coverage and impending storms that threaten to end civilization as we know it. Why are they thanking us? Probably because the product they're putting out stinks. Maybe if they put out some shows worth watching, we could thank them for a change.

2 - IGNORE THE LAST COMMENT, which was self-serving, to say the least. Someone complained that he could not send a comment (hate mail, probably), so I was just running a simple system check. (Comment this)
