I don't usually watch any of the news specials that air on Friday night. They usually revolve around gory unsolved crimes. As Emily Gilmore says "I'm not as interested in forensic work as the rest of the nation."
I did watch a Diane Sawyer special report called Children of the Mountains. It took years to put together & it's about the kids in Appalachia. I wasn't really buying Diane Sawyer as a daughter of Appalachia. Granted, she was born in Kentucky, but I just had a hard time watching her trying to relate to these people.
With all of the talk about the recession, & all of the worry about the recession, it really put things in perspective. Yes, we have a lot to worry about. However, some people don't even have power or enough food & they survive. My house & every crappy apartment I've lived in has plumbing. I will keep going even if I can't get the latest ipod. You can watch the full episode online at the abc site & it's definitely worth the time.
