Chasing after a senseless act

Losing nothing doesn’t lessen the impact of irresponsible destruction

Until three years ago, I had never bought a TV. We had TVs. I just had never bought one. One was given to us. We won one as a prize. And we had the TV my wife had bought before I met her, which was more than 20 years ago.

Technology finally surpassed us, though, and our old TVs no longer worked with our cable TV service unless we rented a cable box for each one. TVs are so cheap now, we finally bought new ones. I don’t know that we need a TV for every person living here, but that’s what we’ve got.
