I’ve been telling folks for a long time that the first step to saving the country is to turn off the televisions.
Pick the word(s) that apply to you:
- Wise
- Sage
- Prophetic
- Patriot
However long you've been saying it, you're exactly right. We went from having the TV on non-stop here, mostly just for "background noise" not even really paying attention to it, to basically turning it on at 10:10'ish at night and off at 10:20'ish at night just to catch the local weather.
As much as I'd like to eliminate that, the Weather Channel website has to get MUCH better at local forecasts than the local weathercaster first.
By the way, what an improvement in family life and COMMUNICATION with the kids (14 and 16) now that the idiot box (read that: TV) is relegated to such a minor role.
Save the country, save the family unit and turn off the damn' TV!!!
I'm with you guys. Chucked the TV awhile ago and do not miss it a bit.
I hear friends talking about the latest refuse on TV and wonder to myself how they can logically stand to waste their time watching that tripe.

WowWEE! You've been an insightful genius for a long time haven't you Hoefling?
Why don't you list your vice presidential candidate (LOL) in the same font size as your own name on your home page?
