Many of them think with their sex organs instead of their brains. They wind up in too many beds with too many other people. They lack the values, emotional depth, consistency and discipline to maintain a relationship. Their marriages fall apart. They go from one to another, incapable of genuine relationships. They want too many contradictory things at once without sacrifice. They want it all—complete personal independence, love without discipline or commitment, freedom, careers, marriages, kids, sex on the side with various people, and they don't really care about anything or anybody but themselves.

These words are a perfect description of the TV fare viewed by countless Americans every single day: the soap opera. This is where too many Americans get their values. This is what is shown as normal behavior.

It's time to do something about it. If the conservatives can have a negative influence and impact on the success of Disney, we can do the same for these time-killing, trashy shows that pollute the minds and poison the souls of our people every day.

Check out Kocher's site and you'll find a series called "Politics in America," that includes a four-part series on how Relationships between men and women have affected modern politics. The social movements feed the media and the media feed and sustain the social (deconstructing) movements.

A friend and I went into a cafeteria on shopping day...oh my. Right in front of my chair, near the ceiling was a HUGE tv screen, and what they were showing.....I thought we had taken a wrong turn and was in an X-rated place. I made a remark about taking our trays back and leave the joint, the manager overheard my comment and informed me it was soap opera. Twern't no soap opera to me, it was durn near the real thing I was seeing. He did change the channel.

I think the advent of trash TV and the "liberated" woman magazines helped make the society we have today. But I can remember my folks talking about magazine and newspaper articles shortly after WWII, telling American women, they were a lazy lot for staying home and caring for the family, while the european women were out picking up parts of their bombed out buildings, to put the buildings back together again.
