Amen Brother Kunstler! We need more hell-fire and damnation modern-day Jeremiahs like yourself preaching to us against the ingrained evils of modern culture. We have come to be so inured to a way of life our grandparents would consider lazy, wasteful, slothful and evil. Not saying we need to become Amish, but sometimes I wonder if even that extreme wouldn't be better than what we have.

How much is that affecting our psyche? And what happens when, not if, the TV becomes a two-way transmission and receiver? Who will be watching us?

We rip out the cable TV every January after the holiday season, then sign up again for football season. But Netflix has become a surrogate cable with all episodes available all the time. Might be time for a brick to go thru the TV set.
