I don't even know (or care) who "Cho" is. Why? Because I choose what I
watch. Do you? If you don't, that is a problem. But if you do, then
why do you want to choose what =I= and everybody else watches?

Settle down. Nobody said anything about choosing for you.


Uh.... that's not quite the case. You said:
Should stick with the status quo where pictures of Cho draw viewers,
which equates to higher ratings...


The status quo comes about because we, collectively, are choosing it.



"GRESHAM, Ore. (AP) - A 15-year-old boy charged with attempted aggravated
murder after a shooting shattered some windows at a high school told police
he was influenced by a television documentary on the 1999 Columbine
shootings in Colorado."

I'm just sayin'...

Why do we know the names and faces of Clebold, Harris, Malvo, Muhammed, Cho,
Whitman, Manson, Bundy.... but we'd have to do an internet lookup to
recall the name of the Holocaust-survivor professor who gave his life
protecting his VT students?
