well yes and no. the really sickening part is tv itself. an awful
thing. the medium is the message. the message is bad, so tv is bad.

well now let me relate this to the coho list: if i have anything to
say about it, there won't be a tv in the common house of any
coho/ecovillage i live in. tv sucks. i mean that: it sucks brains in
like a vacuum. a person's consciousness goes right down the tube as he
sits there and watches the awful thing. worse than drugs because it
seems like such a nice thing.

god i feel good for saying that ...
