2. TV is the opiate of the masses
Although I must admit that, living overseas, I miss C-SPAN and AETN (Arkansas Educational Television Network)

4. But You Are Still Correct
While there is some worthwhile programing, the majority of it will turn your brain to mush.

3. I have never owned a TV....you can live a fine life without a TV


so many live vicariously through their TV's, and never live at all...they remain mesmerized by TV....

best to just forget all together about TV...it's not a necessary part of your life at all.....let it go....

5. 5 days ago our Sky TV was turned off
we didnt pay a bill because they kept over charging us for our channel package....anyway, they switched it off and instead of going through the hassle of fixing the TV aerial to get the free channels I decided not to bother...... its been a pretty good 5 days.

Although to be fair the weather here has been surprisingly nice all week so I havent been in much.... perhaps my will would have been tested more if it had rained for 5 days.
