"That TV is one of the fundamental elements of the system of control and influence.. almost every family has the TV setup in their house like a shrine.. like a God.. centered in the main room where they all sit and pay hours and hours of homage.. and hundreds of dollars of offerings.. and chunks and chunks of mindshare.. If that's not worship, I don't know what is".
Yes, I do agree. I came to the same realization after returning from "Nam".
When I got back to this world, I could see that most people agreed with each other on some issues that did not make sense to me. It was little things, like Mc-donnals, that stuff was nasty. Any way, because I would go away to other isolated places, when I returned I would notice that the general public saw things in a consistent fashion. As if their views were formed in mass.
I would be a great thing to combat this propaganda machine by having an alternative station with our needs in mind.
