There is an ancient Egyptian myth referring to Thoth (God of
Writing and other stuff) having given Man the ability to write.

Some complained that this was unwise of Thoth to give them this
knowledge, that it would destroy their civilization, because oral
tradition and oral history would be lost, and people would write
things down and forget about them.

There are two things about the anti-TV movement which bother me.

[1] It is very fashionable among the intelligensia (or aspirants
    thereto) to dislike TV and claim not to watch it.  (or,
    "Well, only PBS but nothing else!  Honest!").

[2] Once again we have a group of people deciding what is good for
    us and protecting us from the Evil Boob Tube.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T WATCH IT!  I think that about wraps up
the Pro-Choice argument ....
