>>I fear the short attention span of the American people<< Is it the American people or is it the American media? The media used Desert Storm to turn the American public into news junkies - remember Peter Arnett reporting live from a hotel in Baghdad with the night sky lit up from all the artillery? 24/7 news. The booster shot came with the OJ trial where every pundit/lawyer was interviewed ad nauseam. Breaking news now, film at 11. Now we have the news crawls at the bottom of the screen - the same stuff running 3 days in a row. And we want NEW news - not the same old same old. We want progress. We want to win - now. At least that's what the media is telling us.
