Yeah we all long for the "old days"
Everything was good back then.
Especially with the cigarette smoke, the good ol days of manliness and suave right?
One of my profs told me that people, professors included, used to smoke right in class. I do wish we go back to that some time...

Well we're not. That's progress for ya...
Since this is a thread for Libertarians I guess I'm leaving.

reminds me of Charlie Rose's show

so what's the crux of this thread Jim, the decline of intellect in TV journalism or Rand's philosophies?.. I'll say this: I'm sick of philosophy in general, a feeble attempt to organize ideas and views, a trap wherein true principles and ethics are ignored in favor of an Idea Set

Found this clip that I thought you might enjoy. What gets me is how far TV journalism has fallen. People used to be able to watch stuff like this on TV, while now news is considered where Lindsay and Paris partied last night. Edward R Murrow is spinning in his grave. God I love a good, dry discussion in black and white. A boring set, a lite bulb hanging from the ceiling, lots of cigarette smoke....those were the days.

Anyway, the clip....
