    I remember very well when our television had 2 knobs....UHF/VHF and the remote control was me or one of my sisters. We had 4 channels to choose from. When cable came to our area, we got a whopping 13 channels to choose from and thought we were in heaven.

    While I agree that the instant gratification that we now have limitless opportunities to experience have, in some instances, fostered the "entitlement generation". However, for the discerning and dilligent person the "information expolsion" has also provided many more opportunities for debate, and the exposure of otherwise unknown or obscure opinions and ideas. In my view, never a bad thing.

    Double edged sword.

    Greed. If there were no distinctions, there would be no factions and the only interest would be the "common good".........where's the percentage in that?

I think that people's attention span is the problem...not just people, humans....and I think attention is diverted in a methodical systematic way by the media.

    Now, don't go start thinking I'm going all "foil hat" on you, but I belive there's definietly something playing out there.

    For example, look at the oil spill in the Gulf. Horrible, however, I remember the Exxon Valdiiez spill...that was some shit...any follow ups to date on the results of that? Think it's all cleaned up and hunky dory? No. We've all lost that off our radar.

    Anyway, keep up the good blogs. They're better than my bitching about work & how tired I am posts LOL

    I'm writing a response to this. I was hoping you would post this PM! However, I need to get my "soap box" rants removed and all my spelling/punctuation errors corrected. So, you should see something in 2 weeks. J/K

    My dad was Navy in Korea too. He's turning 80 this year.

    Goosebumps................

    I love researching things. Something like this would be right up my alley. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in the right profession, or if I shouldn't be a private investigator. I certainly understand the difficulty in researching this specific case, however. It would be interesting to continue correspondence with his sister.

    Thank you very much for your service, sir. We are grateful.
