I seldom watch television, but that doesn’t mean that I cannot appreciate quality programming.
Tonight, on the History Channel, there is a double feature of Monster Quest beginning at 7 p.m. The first episode is about ghosts, and the second is about giant killer snakes.
I do not believe that these monsters really exist, but the people who earnestly insist that they do are often endearing eccentrics.
A cruel society would torment people like this. It is a measure of Americans’ respect for individual rights that we do not bully harmless dreamers searching for giant apes or supernatural wolves just beyond their backyards.
