Just today I heart TV referred to as an "electronic money sucker" and I'm inclined to agree whole-heartedly. I know people who watch hours and hours of TV and then complain that they don't have any ____ (fill in the blank). What would you have or be able to do if you didn't watch TV?

Wow, that is a good way to put it, electronic money sucker! We pay a lot for cable television and over half the channels go unviewed. It is such a high profit system. This system really needs to be revamped.

Hardly watch TV anymore since I've become an Internet addict. Fortunately I'm trying to direct my online time more toward things that make money and connect with people, since I'm trying to do the make-a-living-at-home thing (like everyone else in the world).
