One of the best things about having such a busy schedule is that I've significantly cut down on my television consumption (hurray!).  Now there are only three shows I really watch each week: Heroes, The Unit, and Grey's Anatomy.  What has replaced the television is Napster... lots of Napster... there goes more money...

However, I have to make this rant.  Tonight's episode of the Unit was really good, but it was really good partly because it was really disturbing.  Anyone who wants a break from their lives can go to cbs.com/innertube and watch it.  It's disturbing on two parts:

1) In a state of "war", preferential treatment is given.  The value of one life is placed far above the value of another life. An innocent family is just sitting around their home having dinner when a bunch of American soldiers barge in, and then later kill a guy, because all he wants to do is save his own family.  You want so badly for the Unit guys to be nice and friendly and treat this family well; but their lives are on the line and they'll shoot to kill anyone who will compromise their mission... their mission to save the life of one American who, by the way, doesn't like Americans... Like 50 Iraqi people die on the account of that one life. 

2) As the group is being rescued, one of the main characters is shot and killed by a sniper.  Why is it that black guy always has to be the one to go??  I really liked that character...

I should've recorded this episode... I could have used it for my ethics class... oh well.  Back to work for me... Got some of my stack of papers taken care of... not enough of it though...
