Television, despite its enormous presence, turns out to have added pitifully few lines to the communal memory.
The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. Remembering heaven. That was the essence of hell.
I like to have fun with them. I like to toy with them a little bit. we're making television, after all. Right?
