Yeah, let's try not to go off topic too far but I will add that one of the best things I did for my mental health was quit watching TV. Haven't followed a sitcom or watched the news in years.
The only TV I watch anymore is football when it's in season and even then I mute and try to avoid the commercials. The advertising is just as indoctrinating as the shows themselves. I listen to community radio (no commercials) and play musical instruments to pass the time when I'm not working. Also BL and other internet sites. But these days its almost impossible to not encounter some type of propaganda unless you completely unplug. I've done it before when I was a camp counselor and we had no electronic devices at all, just mountains, animals, and nature. I should read more books too, no advertising there either.
