I scrolled through this and find you right on point.
We have neighbors that are homeschooling their children. They do not have a television in the house. The one I find a bit extreme is they forbid movies.
However, the children are like so pure, they play outside. Yes, outside not on a computer and are so sweet. They are kids and get into things but they are much brighter and happier.
Oh yes, love George Carlin, a master of logic.
To forbid all movies sounds a bit extreme to me as well. But there's a lot of crap out there that is better avoided. I never missed the TV ones when I threw it out. It really clears your mind. Thanks.
