As most of you probably know or have noticed, I have a random quote at the bottom of the pages of my web site, including my browser's home page. Anyways, last night this quote attributed to Edward Murrow came up, and it reminded me of all the political ads that have been on recently. Then tonight I saw more ads and I thought of how appropriate the quote is right before elections.
When the politicians complain that TV turns the proceedings into a circus, it should be made clear that the circus was already there, and that TV has merely demonstrated that not all the performers are well trained.

I like the quote. I think it is more true than a lot of people admit.
I also like the quote at the bottom of the page now:
"Government is too big and too important to be left to the politicians." - Chester Bowles
