Inexplicably, I turned on the TV last night. I was rearranging the living room and for some reason desired the company of the tube. There was some sort of MTV-ish thing happening on Fox and, for the 2nd inexplicable act, I started half-watching while I worked.
It used to be that I thought the Unholy Alliance was between the corporate fat cats and the religious right. Now, having seen a live duet between Tim McGraw and Nelly, I'm not so sure.

Good Lord! Did you turn off the blessed thing?
Well, it was kind of the old "car crash" analogy. You know, where you don't want to look but you have to out of some twisted fascination. It took me till probably 2/3 of the way through before I could wrench myself away from the atrocity. I then turned to a PBS reality show where people were trying to live like Pilgrims.
That is a very good program that I have seen a couple of times. It is very interesting to see how they lived back then and what tools they used to live everyday life.
Seemed like the religious component of life was taken very seriously by these people. I couldn't figure out whether they were just really getting into their roles, or if part of the recruiting process was intended to bring in people that wanted to live in that sort of religious community.
They burn some witches?
Or crush them with rocks?
"ONE MORE STONE.....!"
Persecute the woman for adultery and ignore the transgressions of the man?
Despite taking on an epic challenge - that of surviving in a inhospitable new world, a group that left England because they were being persecuted, sure did an awful lot of persecuting themselves.
