> I am glad there are 3 other Rinkworkers out there who enjoy the feeling to have no Tv! I always get made fun of at school, and people always ask, why dont you get a tv? I reply, why dont you get good grades. Because I believe TV is one of the downfalls of society. I am not saying that all the people who have Tv's are bad, but some people abuse the right wayy too much.

That's the key right there. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but the way it gets abused and overused is unfortunate. I hear about what my parents did as kids, and it's amazing what exciting and creative things they used to do with their free time. My grandparents have even more exciting stories to tell. And, alas, people younger than me have less to tell than I do. Meanwhile, the number of hours kids spend in front of the TV or playing computer games is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Our eventual kids won't be denied television, but the time spent in front of it will be heavily limited.
