We have a television, but

We have a television, but no channels. That is to say, we use our t.v. for
videos/dvd's only. We're not objectors, just too cheap to pay out the nose for
direct t.v. or cable. In our small town back east, we paid only $15 a month for
cable, not including HBO or any of the movie channels. When we moved here, it
was astounding how much money was required to get even the most local news
station (225 miles away, mind you, and heavily influenced by {as in owned} a
religion). So, if we are desperate enough, we will plug in the rabbit ears and
fiddle around to get something. That happened last night. No news here about
Saddam until I hop onto the web to check e-mails, etc, and see that he's been
captured. I was elated at first, but am unsure now how it really affects the
United States mission. This has me thinking. All day yesterday between cooking
(a fab meal, btw) and reading books to children and listening to Annie Lennox
and Chopin and talking with R and my mother-in-law and E, I kept returning to my
wondering just what this means and how it will change anything?
