The culprit is the people, not the state

Ray Bradbury wants it understood that when he wrote [Fahrenheit 451] he was far more concerned with the dulling effects of TV on people than he was on the silencing effect of a heavy-handed government. While television has in fact superseded reading for some, at least we can be grateful that firemen still put out fires instead of start them. [Source]

LOST Review

Oh that was good! They got me! You know. One question I find myself asking: Setting aside Ben’s mind games and apparent evil nature, have The Other’s (I don’t count Patchy) done anything terrible that wasn’t directly a result of an action of an Ocean Flight 815 survivor?

Tonight on LOST

I know what is going to happen!

Hiro shows up on the island which is really a big submarine and blows up just as we learn that Jack Bueur is really a pregnant lady and has to die then House claims he can save Jack but Wil Shatner intervenes with a legal loop hole explaining they have to blow up and everyone dies.

Rezoning continues…Feeder schools

I had a call today and had the pleasure of being interviewed by Gordon Boyd of WVLT regarding the next phase of Knox County Schools rezoning, feeder schools (ie. Middle and Elementary). If they use my footage, it will air between 5:30 and 6 today. I enjoyed the interview and afterwards thought many wonderful ideas and tidbits of information I could have shared and probably could have talked another 15 minutes. Of all this school rezoning stuff, I have really come to respect the quality of our local reporters. Regardless of station, they are professional, courteous, well informed, and very friendly. I am very unimpressed with some of our school board members and hope that they will never again run for office unopposed! That said, Cindy Buttry, Robert Bratton, and Thomas Deakins did their jobs very well, deserve commendation, and should be re-elected. I cannot speak much one way or another for Rex Stooksbury or Jim Williams. I was terribly unimpressed with Sam Anderson and do not think he holds office with an open mind. Karen Carsen needs happy pills and to not hold office. I thought Indya Kincannon was going to be a good board member but in the end I think she is just a good politician. I felt she played both sides of the fence and at the last minute chose the side that benefited her the most. Dan Murphy is a self-serving, arrogant ass and should be booted out of office today.

Update: Here’s the article with a link to the video.

LOST – The Man Behind The Curtain

SUDO-SPOILER ALERT!

In that scene with Ben and Locke where everything got all shaky and you briefly see a person, I did a frame by frame playback and the person sitting in the chair has the exact profile (including that very distinct forehead and extremely distinct nose) of Ben!

Stealing Cathy’s thought, have we gone a little 6th Sense here? Who of the Others have the Losties actually physically contacted and conversed with? Richard? I’m not so sure anymore. Patchie? Definitely. Juliette? Definitely. Tom? Definitely. Ethan? Definitely.

The revelations in tonight’s Lost episode were awesome!
