Right. And this is why I no longer watch TV. I will not, if I can
avoid it, fill my mental life with fear and garbage. When my SO was
here, TV was on a *lot*.

Perhaps it is the visual representations - "living technicolor" - that
is one of my problems. I re-see the pictures when I close my eyes to
sleep ... and then don't sleep.  However, I found even the sounds, the
background music, seemed designed to get my pulse racing. IMHO that is
not healthy.
