we should stop watching network tv - Agreed I got rid of TV years ago I recommend it I feel less enslaved to a particular way of thinking - it's like a weight was lifted from me - difficult at first but well worth it. TV is like having sewerage pumped into my house - now it is garbage free!

It would be great to have a "Shoot your TV" day people could bring their TV's to a firing range and blow the heads off Rather, Jennings Couric et al.

I went to the lake park a couple of weeks ago. On the sidewalk in very large letters, was the word, "KILL".

I thought it was gang graffiti. I walked a little farther and the word, "YOUR" was there. I started to understand what I was reading. The next word was "TV". I understand it wasn't a political statement and I don't like graffiti but I did have to laugh at that one.

I don't have TV, but I see it occasionally at someone else's home, or a hotel (where, I confess, I treat it as a novelty).

When they first started putting watermark logos on the screens, I found it very disconcerting. Sometime later, a friend had the TV on, and I saw the logo spinning around, turning into advertising. Sometimes other advertising would appear at the bottom of the screen. It was so distracting that I had to walk away.

I asked them, how can you stand it? Oh, you get used to it, they said.
