[I turned my TV off in 2001...]

Amazing isn’t it, most people continue to subject themselves to fits of anger and frustration when they watch these dog and pony shows but...what do they do first thing in the morning...turn on the TV for another dose of it.

After the election, I asked myself, why do I do this to myself, I have the control of what I see and hear...not them.

Yup. Saying no to the television is extremely liberating. I literally have not turned it on in twelve years and don't miss it a bit. People look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them that. I get all the news I need online.

Not me. During the winter, my TV is on 24/7. Only turn it off if going out of town. In summer, I turn it off when I go to work outside during the day.
