I really want to give "Tru Calling" a chance, but I have a feeling it's not even worth it. FOX has this habit of killing shows, good shows, and replacing them with some truly Gigli programming.
A Eulogy:
Futurama and Family Guy
Why did you have to die?
Opposite Sex, Firefly, and John Doe
Hey, where did you guys go?
Replaced with Joe Millionaire and American Idol
Excuse me while I take some more tylenol
Now they move Boston Public to Fridays, a party night. Is it next to get the axe?
I hope Tru lives to see a second season
Welcome to America II: Home of the Red, White, Black, and Blue
Ah. The super long post. Have those been missed? If not, too bad.
Violence. Our nations legacy it seems. Starting with the "discovery" of America by Christopher Columbus violence was used to cow the natives into doing the menial tasks that the sailors were too lazy to perform. If the natives didn't comply Columbus would chop off arms, hands, and other body parts. Jump forward to the American Revolution where all the violence that occured was justified because of the goal that it helped to accomplish. Afterwards, we as a nation started to commit that greatest atrocities thus far in our nation against the Native Americans. Seen as less than human they were given the short end of the stick. Violence erupted among the nation during the civil war.
Violence. Violence. It all makes me sick. The racism, the white supremacy, the KKK. There are times where one man can make a difference, but one man can't change the past. As much as I would love to hop in a time machine, and... politely talk to them about the evils of violence... unfortunately I seem to not be immune to violence. It seems that my ends justify the means as well. Unfortunately, time machines don't exist and you can't change a culture already so rooted in violence.
I just hope that the domestic violence and the child abuse stops. That is also part of the legacy. Our unfortunate legacy.
