Not that they are needed (there are now 1000 cable channels out there that are privately financed and self-supporting) but apparently, the powers that be have decided that we need to pay for such outlets that in turn trash us, put down our views, and pay their staff exorbitant salaries using our tax dollars.
Who knew that Pete Townsend could have made it in the NBA?
Yea, that’s gotta be edited. But yes, he shoulda hung it up after Quadrophenia and joined the Trailblazers. He and Bill Walton would have had the Best Beards in the NBA.
It just invented democracy and the common law. It also gave us most of the practical science and engineering that has given us the industrial revolution.
Other than that... no, not much.
Sorry, mised yours, but at least our lists are the same.
