I turned on the TV this morning in hopes of news but expecting nothing more than the usual sports, weather and traffic. Well, there was that but also at least 4 minutes about the lottery.

Two things bother me about that. First, that those so-called news anchors would think that the lottery is the most important news of the day. And two, that the great masses actually do have that much interest in such a thing.

I’ve come to the conclusion people have their priorities totally topsy-turvy. And I have just presented a primafacia case that what I say is true.

And, by the way, it is very much encouraged by the main stream media.
