Television
"Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your own home."
David Frost
I have a love/hate relationship with television, like a lot of people do (I imagine). It's such a great window on the world, but it also presents such a skewed view of the world. Plus, it can be a giant time-sucking vortex, some days.
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set I go into the other room and read a book."
Groucho Marx
Of course, Groucho is the same one who said:
"Outside of a dog a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."
Groucho Marx
Or in my own words when I was still in my 20's:
...and now back to our program
Mush, predigested words
Spew forth from the great glowing box
Straight into my now empty brains
Filling every nook and cranny
With regurgitated ideas.
Acids float to the top.
