I avoid useless fiction. Most library books are useless fiction - why do they waste so much money on so much trash? There is very little useful fiction - where the author first performs years of research before writing. That is what Alex Haley (Airport, Wheels, Roots, etc) did before he wrote. That is what Micheal Crichton (spelling?) of ER, etc did. Ditto for Tom Adams. But well over 90% of fiction is crap written for minds that worship urban legends.
Also I ignored the dingbat and her peers at local news stations such as Channel 6 Action News. They just had a big fire in Bridgeport. Can anyone tell me why it was so out of control or what started it?
I can suggest why it was out of control. No sooner did I enter that building than I was looking for emergency exit signs. It was a fire disaster just waiting to happen. No sprinklers. Wood floors. The only thing safe was brick lined stairways of concrete and steel. So where are the facts from those trash newshypsters? Did they every report any real news? While so many were wasting time watching so much hype, I was learning about another stupid move by our mentally challenged President.
BTW, if it is not obvious - I don't waste time with Time. I read what Time Magazine should have been - The Economist.
