Reminds me of the sociological study I read about last year that
verified the widespread belief that the higher the family income,
the fewer TV sets in the home.  The correlation and signifigance
levels were impressively high.  The lowest rate of TV ownerset
was among the top management of broadcast firms.  Most of them
have no TV in their homes at all.  They see no need for wasting
their own money on such things, and certainly don't wand their
own children exposed to such stuff.

Looks like good ol' Karl Marx is outdated.  The masses now have
a better opiate than religion.  And back when TV was first being
introduced, they promised us that it would be so educational!
