I haven't had TV for about nine years now, and I can't begin to tell you how freeing that is.  Sure, I truly miss things (mostly sports, docs, and movies), but how much of our time did/do we really watch absolute shit?  I mean, pure unadulterated shit?

TV here to stay?  Certainly.  But that doesn't mean we have to sit in front of it every fucking night, from the time we get home from work until we go to sleep.  Unfortunately, that sums up the viewing habits of far, far too many people.  You know, the dumb fucks.
