i am only making suggestions…i’m not wanting to run people’s lives…

man, turn that shit off. really, it makes your life SO much better. Less “itch”…less stress…

we watch the news…mute the commercials (daily, 30 min)
we watch Jeopardy… mute the commercials (weekdays, 30 min)
we occasionally watch a movie (once or twice a month)

we listen to music, we read, and i personally spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME HERE, but…

when i visit my mother i go INSANE…constant tv…too loud and constant screaming advertising…”Geez mom…why do you listen to this crap…you aren’t looking for a new car or a mattress or drum set or…”

“I just leave it on in the background…”

I dunno…i think we are all being poisoned in a very real psychological way…poisoned and brainwashed.

But it’s all voluntary. We can turn it off.

(sorry for the hijack…have a wonderful evening, all)
