It is for that reason I say those who follow the "sheep" mentality are stupid -- be they the majority or not.
I am really enjoying this thread! Alot of what is said is is of my own philosophy! With regard to the news on TV I don't watch it either. Although I love movies!The reason I don't watch the news is because it never changes.
Fo example I can tell you what will be on the news 2 weeks from now - murder, ****, theft, government fraud, people killed in a horrible accident, rising prices, polluted environment, some stupid actor will pull a publicity stunt, Michael Jackson (again), bombings in some foreign country....Ah hell I guess I'll stop there.
I want to get rid of the cable TV, but my wife wont let me. Siggghhhhhh
