I've been so busy that I just caught this thread and probably too late to make a difference but, for years now I've been insulted by the twattle that airs for the general population. For me its not about Conservatism vs Wiccan's or this belief system or another belief system, its about numbing and dumbing of the mind.

Christian TV is just as nauseating as Sex In the City. What kind of people actually live their lives as is portrayed on TV??!! I'm frankly upset by it all.

CNN repeats the same news stories over and over and over and call it headline news, the same themes are repeated in all the sitcoms and talk shows. People's lusts are becoming harder and harder to appease. Jack Ass aired a guy getting his butt nailed with a hydraulic nailer. CSI gets more and more graphic along with its sister shows reaching further and further to appease the public's desire to see yuck and rotting flesh.

The act of sex is looked on with as much respect as eating a bologna sandwich. The shows that do try to portray some kind of morals are sickeningly sweet and morbidly boring.

Frankly, I enjoy Sponge Bob with the kids and Everybody Loves Raymond and Frazier and Animal Planet and the Health Channels and the house makeover and people makeover shows and Dr. Phil although to me he is an arrogant Oprah Spiceboy creation.

Even the science fiction shows are of the same IQ level as Lost in Space. I used to enjoy Muldar and Sculley in a pretty good show but that ended...

I won't be preached to by the neo evengelists either. The Hollywood producers are either paid off or bow to the pressure of special interest groups who are pushing their agenda on everyone else.

I'm very selective about what I watch, not because I care that much about the morality of what I'm watching but just that my mind has to be fed and has to grow and expand and the AIDS looking for somewhere to happen mentality of most of the sitcoms just leaves me empty.
