Your families satellite media health

I love to be able to have many choices for the

media content I and my family watch. But there is

such a thing as "one head, one life and only two

eyes" which makes 500+ channels of TV a little

too much overwhelm even for my eclectic interest.

So what is best to do?

Have you ever sat with a very retro blank white

piece of paper and in my case an even more retro

#2 pencil (yes they still exist) and like in

weight watchers list all the TV programs and time

spent watching them you really do? I don't

recommend it can get VERY ugly! But being curious

by nature and a little masochistic I did. What I

found surprised me. I actually only consume (as I

work an 8 to 5 job for a living) 22-26 hours of

TV a week! I WAS VERY PROUD OF MYSELF!

And I have 500+ TV channels available to me

through my satellite home theatre TV. Discipline

rules in my family. Now most of this time is

spent watching movies about 3-4 a week and

'escaping from the world' with the rest filled

with science type i.e. Discovery or History

channel type stuff. I like my family to invite

through our satellite home theatre system to open

and sharpen their minds! This very cool

technology can be a most useful tool if used well

. I do not allow CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX or any type of

news as this is EVERYWHERE now, not in the least

educational and I view as detrimental as we have

zero control over what is happening and prefer

NOT to live our lives in a perpetual state of

reacting to that which we cannot control (isn't

this a prescription for unhappiness as described

by Huxley in Brave New World? It seems to me that

our tools i.e. in this case satellite home

theatre systems are best used with a great deal

of discretion and discrimination. And if not just

add to the larger cultural madness of the

citizenry. Only a fool or madman would allow some

of them world's horror story into their cave

(LIVING ROOM) for their children to endure!

So what do you do to enrich your life with your

satellite home theatre system? What have you cut

out and what do you allow. You still have the

choice you know. Though there are certain forces

which would just as soon cyber-jack your brain

and put you on a 24 hour CNN or war or famine

(panic and stress for panic and stress sake) take

over feed. Why? Because a free and clear and

"LOVING" (one who can think is a danger to the

"system!" The "system" in this case is the 19 year

old kid who has been saturated with the garbage

"YOU ARE PATRIOTC IF YOUGO TO THE NEXT WAR." Any

war can be filled in here. I know from where I

speak because one of my day jobs is as a school

bus driver and these kids are half walking

zombies who have never had a n original let alone

political thought in their life and half of them

without any study skills at all will suddenly

find themselves in their senior year sick of

school with zero interest (or ability) to go to

school and end up in Iraq, well…. soon to be Iran

. Our kids (except mine) ARE HYPNOTIZED ZOMBIES!

So please use your satellite home theatre system

TV to bring the great and good and beautiful

world too your family. Life has enough scars

without bringing them into your home. Use some

common (in these days not so common) sense to

improve your life and not take away from it. I

promise you and your family will remember maybe

with a laugh about all the wonderful people and

places your satellite home theatre system TV

brought to you. All the best…… Scott Douglas
