I am so ashamed.

I simply can't believe some people. Last night this area was rife with severe thunderstorms and tornados. All of the big three networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) in Kansas City went to full-time weather coverage due to the severity of storms and the presence of tornados in their viewing area.

While no tornados actually hit the Metro KC area, the smaller towns and rural areas around KC were affected by the storms. Listening to the Shanin and Parks show today on the way home, I was astounded by the number of callers into that show that complained because they didn't get to see Medium, or Lost, or Jericho or some other television show they wanted to see.

The sheer selfishness and lack of concern for their fellow man completely floored me. This is actually the first time that I have to admit I am ashamed of those fellow midwesterners that acted in such a childish manner. I would expect behavior like this from the east or west coasts - but in fly-over country, we are supposed to be more civilized.
