Information overload
Every night when I get off of work and head home I sit up and watch documentarys on various subjects that are important issues in this day and age. Economy, communism, terrorism, abortion, recycling, racism, gangs, drugs, animal rights, human rights, gun rights, hunger, poverty, pollution, nuclear, and religion. All these have numerous sub-groups and beleifs.
I watch these to try and gain more insight and knowledge about the world around me. At bedtime though I usually have thousands of ideas swirling around my head and end up getting frustrated by obvious idiots.
You ever just get to the point you just want to give the world the one finger salute and walk off into the woods never to be seen agian?

I do that with some regularity, the problem is that I have to come back to reality. Family, responsibilities, health maintainance, etc. The attitude adjustment, though not permanent, does wonders. Try it.0 -

If you're looking for balance try alternating,1 nite of TV and 1 nite of reading,I'de start with the book Ecclesiastes but you can read what you wish.Then as a test of what you retain,when you get up in the morning try to remember what you watched on TV and/or read.Writing down what you remember will make the whole experience more effective. 0 -

I used to wander off into the woods for weeks sometimes when it wasn't a commercial fishing season in Oregon and Alaska. Lots of public land up there to lose yourself. Now I live in Texas and it seems like everything is owned and to get on that property you have to pay 2000 a year for the lease. [:(]0 -
Yep. TV is the work of Satan and a serious waste 99.9% of the time. And, I'm not so sure of the other .1% There's a reason it's been called the Opiate of the Masses. It's true goal is to sell you stuff that you really don't need. 0
