Freedom through television
Responder “John” says that if I kill my television, I will free my mind. Well, I have to disagree, wholeheartedly. Not only does television free my mind, it does a very thorough job of it. I rarely have a serious thought while watching television, which is why I watch television in the first place. I want to be totally and completely disengaged from reality, because let’s face it - reality is pretty depressing stuff. I don’t watch anything that contains depressing, scary or angry people, but that’s not a problem for me, since I get enough news and politics during the day, through legitimate means. So John, trust me if you want your mind to be truly free, turn on the television.
