Imagine...statistics
showing that Americans are suddenly, significantly reducing their
amount of TV watching -- that could be some great news for a change,
perhaps heralding an increase in citizen involvement in the running of their
country. Participation of aware, intelligent citizens seems our most
effective option in slowing the rate of American decline -- our best way to
combat corporatocracy, oligarchy, and globalization. Conversely, our
continuing trend toward ever greater TV addiction retards any widespread
hope of personal, community, national and even biospheric improvement.
The road to hell is paved with increasing amounts of time spent watching TV.
I don't pretend to have any breezy solutions. However, I believe that drastic reduction in the amount of time Americans spend watching TV could benefit America greatly. Americans need to wake up, kick TV, and live their own lives.
Do we need some sort of "12-step program"? Maybe, "TV Addicts Anonymous"?
Some
people get a tad defensive when questioned about their TV habits. The
most common answer I've heard to the question of whether or not there is
anything "good" on TV is: "The History Channel."
Napoleon, again -- "History is a set of lies agreed upon."
