All I mean to say is television in no way helps our culture ween itself from a irresponsibly over consumptive lifestyle.

Torn, Television, Tomorrow
So I ride a dead horse, beating it like a jockey in the Kentucky Derby: Television is sapping the imagination out of those who use it. I don't even think there is a "responsible use" excuse, though flipping it on to check the weather channel might qualify but only if you turn it off as soon as you get the local forecast. I have recently left a lifestyle of non-television, living in smaller places with bigger character. Returning to the place where I grew up and spending time with family and friends leaves me a bit hopeless- everyone has a television and while at home it is always on. There are exceptions of course, there are always exceptions.
