Television:
This one's easy ... TV is not high up there on my list. I do have to admit though that I am hooked on SCRUBS and The Office. Other than that you will catch me watching the Weather Channel and CNN every morning and catching up on my reruns of Seinfeld and Everyone Loves Raymond while I make or eat dinner.

Gandhi, MLK, John Lennon, Daisaku Ikeda
