I was admitting something on the phone the other day; it might well be age, but I sometimes find myself watching PBS nowadays. Just hearing the Nova theme music gives me a chill. Since buying the Toshiba wide-screen, nature programs have taken on additional importance due to HD.They frequently have special programming worth watching. For example, last week I PVR'd the following:
Jerusalem: Center of the World
It was great to see a summary of the region's history told through the events in a single city. People, especially at this time of year, should take the time to study religions. Many stress the importance of faith alone but it should not replace knowledge. I would safely suggest that being ignorant of the past is what causes a majority of the trouble in the present.
