Ever notice how everyone gets cold and flu symptoms at the same time ads on TV start for cold and flu remedies? I'm old enough to remember an ad for the "Summer Cold" that probably was intended to prolong the season for more profits. Cynical? Sure I am. I personally suspect that all the doctor and hospital TV shows are for inundating viewers with symptoms and suffering...the ads on all the programs, not just medical ones, push drugs just as vehemently as an addict's supplier. Police "dramas" instill fear. The more frightened people are (about disease, robbers, etc.) the more controllable they are. And I actually believe that most people want to be "controlled", to have outside authorities. If you have authority over your life, you also have to take responsibility. This is sounding really negative - contrary to my intentions! My desire is to tell humanity that you can take responsibility for your life and regain authority in your lives and create something really dazzling for yourself and your animals outside of fear and manipulation. I have not bought my "converter box" for digital TV reception (no surprise, huh). I'm just not interested in what that world has to say. I love my videos...I still have lots of VHS, old Dr. Who episodes, Dressage videos, good movies, Yoga tapes. I won't miss anything but PBS...
