The Television The beast, eats your heart out slowly, takes your soul away painlessly, and barely if at all it is ever noticed by any. It growls lowly, quietly, and beats you into submission with loving notions of guilt and the promise of safety with the use of propaganda, and the illusion of truth, within the lies. Watch me, watch me... watch me...

Well said, Ann. It's the face of many traits--we love to watch it, though.

It is amazing what the box does to you after a few years. You can see why they get thrown out of windows.
