Dave,

I've been thinking the same thing about 24. I haven't been watching for a while, but my roommate is a fan, and tells me what's going on, and I keep being appalled, and he keeps making excuses. And yes, it's just a silly TV show, but when I heard about Abu Ghraib, the first thing that went through my head was to wonder how many of those soldiers had seen movies and tv shows where it's ok to torture the bad guys?

Terry,

Thank you, that was fascinating. I never before realized that the point of only stating your name, rank, etc. was to remind yourself that you can't say anything else.

Chip, if that article in the Globe is the same as the one I read, it said that most gay couples who travel to Vermont for commitment ceremonies have relatively high incomes. I found that a silly article, because it seems to me that it's likely that most people who go to Vermont for vacation have higher-than-average incomes, but I could be wrong. I would have liked it if the article had tried to place its numbers in some higher context, though.
