When did you stop watching TV?

When did you stop watching TV?

When I did so, it was a watershed moment. Without the constant drumbeat of Progressive narratives being poured into my brain, my life immediately became better.

I started thinking more clearly. I found I had much more time for productive work. I accomplished much more.

I recall that I considered Claire Wolfe's advise in "101 THINGS TO DO 'TIL THE REVOLUTION".

Claire suggested to "Kill your TV". I did not do that, but I stopped watching. Eventually, I gave it away.

My signed copy of Claire's book is dated April 19th, 1997. It is the Loompanic's edition. It was 1997 when I stopped watching TV.

I wish I had done so decades earlier. Some of Claire's advise seems wrong to me now, two decades older and wiser. But on stopping watching the boob tube, she was 100% correct.

I found freerepublic in 1998.

I’m not going to stop watching it, but I have watched it less as of late. I’m going to kill my Comcast TV subscription after the current contract is up in 2019, because the newly digitized network signals are bifurcated or split 3-way or 4-way. On the 1st part of each channel, you have the regular network TV for that channel, but on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts, you can catch old movies and old TV series, like you might see on TV Land. There are tons of local digital stations, too. I think I would find those things even more interesting than the leggy blondes on FOX News.

Hey stupid. You cannot transmit music without a license.

You said earlier that the networks were not licensed. Now you say the are!

You think I’m heartless enough to hurt his feeling?

In your case, tv watching has made you crazy and an a-hole.

I have no time for crazy a-holes.
