I've reached the point when I'm about to toss the TV set out of the window. Too bad it isn't my TV set. Michael Jackson is dying in front of us 24/7. I'm sorry he is dead. But I can't stand it anymore. It is a circus out there. Morbid curiosity is nothing new, but I am afraid to turn on the TV because all they are showing is revolting. All I see is reality shows featuring the most uncouth, selfish and narcissistic individuals on earth, followed by more reports on the death of MJ... I only feel safe watching Turner Classics and PBS. I might just as well stop watching TV and start to catch up on my netflix queue. To all TV programmers out there: If you give people JUNK all of the time they are going to get used to it and lower their own standards. Of course you know all about it, you want it to go thet way.
I need my Bach, my Chagall, my Thoreau, my Tagore to keep me sane these days.

I sold my T.V. about 5 years ago, and I am so glad I did. I don't miss all the commercials and the news (especially when something big happens.)
Nice post though.

Now there is a good reason to spend time with your ipod...and take a walk- at least in the evening when it cools a bit. <3
