America's Best Idea

So my entertainment center has hit the dust. Great. I only had 17 channels to begin with (hey, I plugged it in the wall and ta-daaa, 17 channels. I can live with that). Everything is all fuzzy and muffled. Could it have not waited about 7 more weeks so I could continue to watch trash shows like, "My Antonio" on VH1?

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. TV rots my brain. (probably because I am forced to watch things like, "My Antonio"). Anyways, last night I found myself on PBS.org watching this:

It is wonderful, amazing and makes me so proud to be an American!

(other than the fact that in the process of establishing this great country and National Park system we drove Native Americans off of their land, killing thousands and forcing tribes to move onto reservations)

Damn. I ruined that moment. But it really does make you pinch yourself and think, "wow, I live in such a beautiful country".

If you are fortunate enough to have a working TV, you should tune into this. If you are tv-less like me, click the link below !
