These damn TV boxes and the idea behind it .
Advertisements [?]
First off let me say I can bet you if you flipped one of these boxes over it would say made in China so why not make these american made products?

Most of all why does the tax payer foot the bill. If the networks who want to switch over to digital and send this propaganda corporate swill into peoples minds and only brain wash people and sell crap many don't need. They make the people who they are and show you who to be and promise to get you there is you just buy their product which by the way is not made here.

Look at any old western movie and who owned the town the meek and pasty banker who hired thugs to protect him and now we have the same thing only much larger.

Then advance to the movie Avalon where the TV became the death of the family and community and brought on the suburbs of hell and promoted the automobile so everyone could reach out and destroy nature without thought or conscience because the TV people sold see the USA in your Chevy all home grown holsome people who made you feel they were actually your friend. Bull shit!


Then look at the movie network and there you see just how the mass brainwashing takes affect.

If people want to be trapped in virtual world where everything is made to appear perfection then watch the TV set.

What's next on this road of progress that will be just another item people will adapt to and depend on when none of it is needed to live a normal life.

None of this insanity makes any sense to me as if shiny new things are all that are desired and then they soon become out dated landfill or re-cycled trash.

Then on top of this the smoker who has been to focal point and target of every health issue and banned from smoking and bashed because they are addicted to a product that was sold by the TV ad's as the thing to do and now they are the ones who pay for SCHIP.

I smoke and SCHIP is a great idea but I will quit smoking the day the tax is applied if it kills me and while I am going through with drawl anyone who points a finger at me better watch out with their second hand smoke or how I raise the cost of healthcare which I don't even have .

Find another way to fund SCHIP like a fast food tax so EVERYONE can contribute, If you don't want to provide the smoker with padded room to get off the damn things then stuff the fuck up and I am talking to all of you none smokers who have no issue breathing in car exhaust fumes or packing on the pounds eating crap or shopping at wallyworld.

There was a dollar a pack increase here in calif that was to support cancer research and schools and I voted yes being a smoker and yet where did that dollar go , into the ether? Well never again people, I'm not paying for it.
