No TV? That's a problem

Here is a challenge for you … unplug your tv, and disconnect your internet connection. Scared? What will you do with yourself? Just try it and see what happens… but I’ll warn you, the result will not be pretty. Some people want to go back to a simpler time ‐ but really, why would you want to? What’s so good about simple times? Back in the days before TV we had to spend time together. That meant that we had to learn to get along. Now we don’t have to go to all that trouble. Siblings practically never have to communicate, so there’s so much less fighting. Think about it, you have several TV's in your house, computers with internet, video games, and phones. There’s no way that kids can get in each other’s way in a house today. If you really want your family to spend some time together and go on a road trip, there are portable dvd players, music players, and video games. So again, no need to deal with each other. Think how great this is… kids will never fight with each other because there is nothing to fight about. When they grow up, they won’t have any ill feelings toward each other because there is nothing to feel bad about! Your kids will be better than Beaver and Wally Cleaver! So your kids will be antisocial and short attention spans - at least you won't have to give them the lectures on sharing and getting along!
