Television programming is generally awful. For kids it replaces creative and ingelligent activities and encourages obesity, callousness towards violence, insensitivity towards other people, consumerism, stupidity and a host of other unpleasant and anti-social habits and traits.
There's an easy solution -turn the darned thing off. Those who don't like it, for whatever reason, don't have to participate in TV culture.
Why is it that so many people on the right want hands off of corporations and obscene profits, but want to regulate other people's personal lives? Why is it that these same "folks" won't support access to health care for all, including mental health care, but demand that their own vision of cultural health and religious values be imposed on those who don't share them?
