Saturday cartoons and the Vietnam War

"And I remember being really upset during the Vietnam War, because they would keep intruding on that show, to give updates on the war. And the violence and battle and the war of course didn't make any sense. It wasn't exciting, it was just mostly jerky cameras and, you know, bad, bad film - like bad film quality. And people in kind of ugly khaki, and I never understood it."

"Look, I'm not talking about one of these...this - I mean, this in a way is what the book's about. It's not about, "He watched television until his bladder let go," or something like that -- it's more just, it's a reliance on something." (150)
