television as a model of reality is disappointing indeed.
Why? It's rather a good model, I thought. What with being wrong, incomplete, and skewed inevitably toward the personal opinions of the person creating it.
LOL it's not that it makes a disappointing model, its the fact that the model/reality is disappointing in and of itself.
Ah. Yeah, that I agree with.
Any interest in going to WritersCon in July?
