A few things in the news today:
- Elderly man freezes to death: An absolute shame. A WWII vet from Michigan died alone in his home because his power was shut off. From the article, it wasn't clear "if anyone had made personal contact with (the man) to explain" what actions were being taken after his bills were left unpaid.
We're turning into machines. Cold, insensitive, robots. This is one example, but it happens all over the world in greater numbers than we'd like to think about.

- Senate extend HDTV deadline: Conversely, endless updates for months have plagued the airwaves, warning people that if they didn't prepare themselves, they'd lose their TV signal. The government has even provided coupons to help people with their TVs. And now, millions of dollars will be spent to extend a deadline that we have known about for years.

A man is left to die in the cold, but we let the Senate worry about our TVs? Is there an issue with priorities? Enough already!
