where have we gone as a country

okay, i admin it -- i was infatuated with the oj simpson trial...i have no idea why (although i was studying criminology at the time)

but seriously, when you look at how msnbc gives the jackson trial a premier spotlight (the same way they do elections, tragedies [well, okay this is certainly a tragedy], etc.)

it makes me wonder where we have gone as a nation...oh well.
