It's interesting how so many people have strong negative opinions about TV, but can't imagine not having one. I was recently in a meeting where everyone had to write a "Fact about yourself that no one knows." I wrote "I don't own a television." When I was revealed as the one who had written it, everyone broke into applause, as if not having a TV was a great accomplishment. My response - if you think it's so admirable, why not do it yourself?

I don't feel that I'm missing anything, even though I've never seen any of Peg's favorite shows. I don't understand how TV viewers have time to do anything else, such as play music, read, exercise, etc.
