    RURAL AMERICA — With the exception of a recent Bears-Vikings football game, I have pretty well avoided any television other than PBS. At the end of the day, one has to believe that the onslaught of political advertising grates on everyone, putting most of America in a foul mood about the upcoming election. In a number of countries, political advertising is only allowed 10 days to two weeks prior to an election. It seems a wise approach to what has become unregulated nastiness on our screens. I
