I just read something that said sometimes the things that look like bad things really are mercies. I can see people having to give up television and so much of what is part of our modern world as doing a good thing in families. Families are broken apart today as in no other time; other than the refugees from countries that are torn by terrible civil war, we are torn up here because people are so involved in all of this garbage - watching television (and, yes, you March Madness nuts are just as bad), keeping our noses in technology (ipods, ipads, pcs, blackberries, etc. etc.) and on an don.
After having worked with little kids this past few months, I have never seen so many disconnected and out-of-touch parents.
“I can see people having to give up television...”
We are giving up Dish Network after our contract is up. Paying for 50% of channels that are nothing but commercials for products no one would ever buy and reality shows is not worth the expensive rates. We’ll get the cheapest cable company we can find and be done with it.
