I'm starting to think the phrase "kill your television" is more appropriate all the time.

Hopefully the insanity and waste will continue faster and faster, until it reaches the point where John Q. Public finally takes notice. Things have to get worse before they get better.

On the plus side, it seems like there are more articles, TV shows, and brochures on survival and preparedness than ever before. At least someone is paying attention. But I wonder for how long?
