In fact, it is the most awesome propaganda machine in the entire world.

TV limits imagination (not for the director or actor, but the viewer), causes abnormal brain functioning (as in putting your brain into a state of hypnosis--though not severely noticed, it does do so without your permission), and it portrays someone else&#39;s ideas of life on this planet (which is supposed to be made your own).</p> <p>My children watch vids/movies that we have purchased, but NO TV generally speaking. &nbsp;Saves us money as well . &nbsp;</p> <p>One additional note: &nbsp;The voices from TV, and the radio (when music is not being played) is HIGHLY disturbing and I mute it asap... ASAP. &nbsp;It is like an attack on my sanity.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=205329" width="1" height="1">
