[AT] [Bulk] Re: Did we freeze up again?

We're in a reasonably well populate area, that’s why I think our local news 
creates stories---its big business

" A 2013 Census estimate put the population at 2,037,430.[1] The 
Raleigh–Durham television market includes a broader 24-county area which 
includes Fayetteville, and has a population of 2,726,000 persons.[2"

We often don't watch the news at supper time, too depressing.  When my son 
was small I noticed he would be glued to the TV watching the news at supper. 
I don't want him to grow up with his head in the sand, but I don't want him 
thinking all that BS in "normal".

I have learned to avoid listening to TV weather.  I can get a forecast
without all the *&^^ DRAMA from
www.wunderground.com or one of the other sites. It keeps me from running
out and winterizing everything
in site when the freeze line is 30 miles North of here. The TV guys like
to make you think that the ICE age is coming.

In fact I am darn tired of seeing 20 Murders a night on TV so I mostly
leave the TV off and Read or do other things
to entertain me.  All I see is brutality and meanest portrayed on
network TV.  No wonder there is so much Violence.

It is not like it was when I was growing up when the only Violence
portrayed on TV was Killing Germans and Japs Indians.
