Yes, we know there's a major attitude problem in the United States, with
non-participatory activities chewing up a huge amount of people's free
time. It seems your reaction to this is to classify what you do in your
free time as something other than "recreation". That's a perfectly valid
reaction, but you really shoudl try to limit to your personal life, and
not try to impose it on others.
