+1 on not watching TV. And really, the way to see sharks is to don a mask, and jump in the water with them. After that, you'll spend the rest of your days wondering how on earth people can vilify, and even eat, these graceful, majestic creatures.
Comment the Second... As long as people are willing to spend an amount of money equal to the national debt on their weddings, I say "the White Mountains are a *fine* backdrop for your nuptials. Live Free or Die, baby!" To those states who haven't figured this out, I'm OK with their citizens opening their wallets to my local economy. Go ahead and ban the license to print money in your state, and let me know how that works out for you. Gay marriage bans are going to be a problem only as long as people fail to recognize that the wedding-industrial complex is a huge economic engine. Trying to make rational arguments ("Straight couples divorce, beat each other, neglect their children, and do all the "monster" things you say gay people do") never convinced anyone of anything. If you show someone that "there's gold in them thar hills!", you've won their hearts and minds in less time than it takes to say "I do".
