Happy Birthday to you

Tonight I'm watching 60 Minutes celebrate their 30th Anniversary. Two things have jumped into my mind. Firstly, I thought isn't it commendable that a show like 60 Minutes is celebrating its 30th Anniversary. In a time when news is diluted and our current affairs programs are mainly focused on dodgy car dealers, I though isn't it great that this is still going. But then I paused. Quality current affairs is on night after night on the ABC & SBS. I must say that we all should watch those things more often, but still, 60th Minutes is still 1000 times better than what else is going around on other commercial networks.

Secondly, the intro said that the two biggest stories that have been reported are terrorism and natural phenomenons (particularly global warming). Very interesting decision I think. I've only been alive for 24 years of those years, & perhaps only conscious of current affairs for the past ten, so only really half of these years. So in short, I don't know. Big questions.
