Most of our shiny stuff we get for good reason
That's what they all think... But someone whose paid to do so told them what to think, or told their parents what to think, who then passed it along to them. Is there a good reason why every individual must own a smog-belching metal box to transport their carcass around in? Is there a good reason why anyone really needs a monitor screen that's as big as their living room wall? Please reconsider what 'good reason' means. Ps. The "players" are psychopaths. I don't hate them. But they need to be kept a safe distance from the rest of their respective societies. In cages, where we can rattle the bars with sticks and taunt them just like they taunt innocent children every Saturday morning during the children's show segment of TeeVee broadcasting with ads for nutrition-less 'food' and toys made in sweatshops in far away places by people we never see, who work 18 hour days, and all seem to have dark skin and live under dictatorships. As far as alternatives. Kill your tv. Get a life that puts your community's needs ahead of yours /(now THAT'S a subversive and radical concept... 'group first, me second')/. There's an extensive list, but the repetitious drone of media drowns out sensible human behavior. RR
