Bigotry and intolerance aren't traits Americans want to emulate. We are about taking down barriers and walls..........see Berlin Wall 1989...........not building them. The putzes at ABC are constantly getting in the way.

The people of today don't know what they don't know....we could be having great programing, but the public stations aren't putting their time and money into making that happen. The dumbing down of America....

I was a kid when the old Omnibus program was on....early days of TV...sometimes called the Golden Age of TV.....My family looked forward to watching this together every week....

Serves 'em right.

I am traveling, in Ohio at the moment, every body. Not much internet access here, so I'm at the Carnegie Library.
