I know what you mean about programmes that rile you, although I find this kind of programme interesting and informative. I also find it interesting to examine why I am riled and to then explore whether or not I am being rational or emotional. I also wonder whether or not my brain is sending electric signals down the same old paths that it has sent signals down many times before. I usually find I learn a lot listening to people and watching programmes I don't really want to hear.
Ah well, that's life isn't it?
