[This Just In]

Thanks, Smokin’ Joe.

As I stated in a reply to another Freeper; I’m not suggesting Americans disconnect. That’s an individuals choice. I’m suggesting that we, as citizens, should be more selective and discerning in recognizing the ideology behind such programming (the writers and producers), and what the bigger picture is (no pun intended) and its implications and ramifications.

If you disconnect completely, you will not be aware of the latest angles and arguments the opposition is using. Without understanding what they are saying (and how it is being conveyed, what the flaws are in their logic, etc.) you place yourself at a disadvantage.

No, it is better training to watch with the children, see what they are seeing, and when appropriate, debunk the 'message'. Few things age appropriate have been banned for our kids, but the shows often leave open opportunities to discuss ideas. Captain Planet was an exception, and any show which tries to mainstream homosexuality will be absent from our TV.
