she stops, not just because you fear she might be crazy. If she tells
her tale on camera, you might listen. Watching strangers on television ,
even responding to them from a studio audience, we're disengaged --
voyeurs collaborating with exhibitionists in rituals of sham community.

little. -- Wendy Kaminer commenting on testimonial television in "I'm
