Frankly, I have no hope for the future.

This year _Politically Incorrect_ was cancelled, largely due to the host making the offensive and wildly controversial statement that it was more "cowardly" to push a button from a great distance and kill your enemies with virtually no risk to yourself than it was to engage in a suicide mission. (it's a tough call, i can see how people might be confused on which might be more frightening) Also this year, Another once cable-only show _crossing over_ in which the host claims to be speaking to the dead, followed in the footsteps of _PI_ and made the switch to network television. No no, there's no decline occurring in THIS culture.
