We killed our television this week

On Saturday afternoon, I unplugged our venerable 27" 1982-vintage Sony TV, and put it in the garage. Next stop: Goodwill. Our home is now television-free. The feeling of release and freedom began to flood over me immediately. We're looking forward to more balance, more sleep, more reading, more communicating, more exercising, less brainwashing, less BS, less spin, no more insulting programs, no news at 11, no 1/2-hour sitcoms, no "What time does X start?", no "When is it over?", overall improvement in mental attitude, more radio, more movies, more Internet or print news WHEN we want it and how we want it, blissful ignorance.
