Do you realize that by linking to NYSlimes website you help them make a lot of advertising dollars?
I'm still going to yell at the kids to move away from the TV with the warning that it's bad for their eyes because when they sit in front of the television I can't see. The warning, real or imagined, only gives my words the sense of urgency that it takes to make them move their lazy rears.
Nowadays, it's sitting too close to our computers screens.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Ping.
Reading the NYT is bad for your eyes... Not to mention the rest of your body.
They also told us that "choking the chicken"/"spanking the monkey" would make us go blind.
I just did it til I needed glasses.
"Don't sit so close; you'll ruin your eyesight!"
Other popular warnings....
"Don`t climb that tree, you`ll break your neck!"
"If you keep making that face it will stay that way!"
"You`re not getting a BB gun, you`ll shoot your eye out!"
"If you put that grenade in your mouth and pull the pin, you`ll blow your head off!"
Thanks for the ping.
Do you realize that the following story is on the NY Times front page.
Senator Clinton Assails Bush and G.O.P. at Campaign Fund-Raiser

To answer your question, yes, information is not free. When someone can show me a conservative newspaper that matches the coverage of the Times, including health and science topics, I'll be glad to switch from the Times.
The problem today is the drunken cameramen, and producers high on drugs.
The resulting show is about as meanigful as looking into a kalidascope. With the constant motions of the video, the endless half second snapshots, there never is a clear shot of what it is they are pretending to be showing the audience.
I think it has to have a big negative impact on young minds.
I used to enjoy shows on big equipment, ships, bridges etc. I no longer even turn them on as they just infuriate me because they never show anything but a 1 or 2 minute total clear shot during a half hour program.
You mean that I'll go blind watching Paris Hilton wash a car! Yeekes!
To be fair, the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" has had some great photography. Some of the best video I've seen recently.
Virtually everyone who was a kid in the 1950s needs reading glasses today (or CK)... it is called presbyopia - a natural aging of the accommodative system due to lens hardening.
Hey, we didn't even HAVE a tv till the 60s, and I STILL need glasses! No fair!
Can't believe you left out "running with scissors!"....
