TV taste is an aftertaste. Whatever gets on the tube is always a foregone conclusion, a fait accompli. That is, any new ideas or social changes have already been fought for in the real world of the streets, or in the bedroom or even the law courts long before they reach the screen. By the time you see it on prime time, it's usually all over and done with, whatever it was. Television by definition is not avant garde. It is often reactionary and always sentimental.

TV shapes thought as surely as language shapes it.

like any Irish mother, I am scar tissue to the bone.

The life of the city cat is short but so sophisticated.

Writing, as I experience it, means wringing out the heart/mind until it stops lying.

Technology evolves so much faster than wisdom.
