SCHULTZ: Television encourages passivity, a comfortable consumer mentality, more than any other medium. It is the most successful means we have ever developed to help us "pass time."
...
FROMM: With television I lose a bit of my freedom. The minute the set is turned on and I see the picture on it, I experience what I would hesitate to call a compulsion but what is certainly a strong impulse or inclination to watch, even if I know intellectually that the program is utter drivel. All I want to suggest is that even when a show is utter drivel and even when I know that's what it is, I still feel drawn to watch it and listen to it. | | Books | Books that changed my life: The Sane Society- Erich Fromm, On The Road- Jack Kerouac, The Fountainhead- Ayn Rand, Crime and Punishment- Fyodor Dostoevsky, Siddhartha- Hermann Hesse, Walden- Henry David Thoreau. Books/authors I'd recommend: Anything by Maureen Dowd, Arianna Huffington, Erich Fromm, Bertrand Russell, Jack Kerouac, Kurt Vonnegut or Augusten Burroughs; A Briefer History of Time, East of Eden, Catch-22, A Confederacy of Dunces, anything by Tom Robbins (Still Life With Woodpecker is my favorite), the Bible (everyone should read it once so at least they'll know something about what they're arguing about), and anything that will increase our understanding of our own existence. | | Heroes | "hero, noun ( pl. -roes) a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities."
Typically a man. Now what the hell is that all about? |

About me:
I'm crotchety. And I make delicious cornbread. Cornbread full of crotchety goodness.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
...everyone who actually voted for GWB, and then I will freeze them, only to thaw them out once Science has discovered a cure for stupidity. (Science frowned upon my own cure, which I like to call, "Bullets.")
Oh, and Amy Sedaris. I'd like to meet her, too. But not to shoot her or anything. I think she's fantastic.
