1. I don't get cable news, so I no longer get bombarded with this stuff
One advantage.....

5. I don't
I live in the Bay Area so I'm constantly bombarded on the news with "overnight developments" and "breaking news" in the laci peterson case. It's a sad and far too common episode and I wish they'd put some real news on.

It's weird though how into it some people get. My husband works with a guy whose wife had a friend visit from Pittsburg. The one thing she wanted to do out here was drive to Modesto and see the Peterson house! Creepy, man! So this guy's wife drove her up and they went to court for the day ("how I spent my vacation") and they ended up meeting Laci's mother who had lunch with them. The woman was thrilled - still wierds me out.

7. We hire judges and lawyers to keep up
and our peers on the juries decide. I'll wait for the end result.

8. At least the FAUX news channel reports a good bit on this...
Instead of 24 hours of Bush propaganda, we get 23 hours with one hour of some murder trial that's just like the ten thousand other murder trials.

9. I've followed the Laci Peterson stuff because...
...here it's local news and so more of an interest. I've read a few articles about the Hacking case, but not much.

10. Not me...
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
:nopity:
