this is a great letter and i agree with you wholeheartedly. i grew up during the vietnam war era and my dad did not allow us to watch television coverage of it. some people gave him grief for it, but he believed childhood should be a magical time and kids shouldn't be exposed to that. i didn't turn out to be some sort of weirdo because my dad shielded us from certain unpleasantness. honestly, mcdonald's should make sure the tv is on an appropriate channel. what probably happened is that they did have it on a kids channel and some adult customer changed it and employees didn't notice.
