It's weird, but I'm not feeling the Putin hate.
Coincidentally, I haven't had TeeVee since 2004.
I wonder sometimes if there's some sort of correlation between me not understanding "current opinions" and me not having TeeVee.
My best friend, who still has TeeVee and regularly gets mad at it [his Queen requires that they have TeeVee], tells me about these weird concerns that he has with the news of the day, all the time.
I look at him quizzically, usually not getting what he's mad about, then ask him why he doesn't just get rid of it, and save the money and aggravation.
He knows I don't have TeeVee, and envies me.
It's like having raw sewage piped into your house, on purpose, and paying good money to have it done.
WOW ... you sound like me ...
