Curb Your Tee Vee
Curb Your Tee Vee
Date: 8/28/2006 6:17:48 AM ( 18 y ) ... viewed 3189 times Television is a life sucking force. I have put televisions on the curb many times to give my children a chance to experience life. It is amazing but during those days without television, all the nighborhood children were led by my children. My children convinced every child in the neighborhood to actually go outside to play or if they were inside make up stories and skits.....acted like children...but televisions always seem to find a way back into my home. I don't watch the junk but my family becomes consumed by it...little by little. Television is a wedge that separates us from our humanity. I was considered an ogre for throwing out the television but I have not always been successful. There are two televisions in my house today.
95% of people are cattle who just do what men in high places tell them to do. These men are clever and market test every thing they expose us to for control over our bodies and minds. If those men in high places cared about us, they would not stuff toxic chemicals in our food to fatten us up and poison us with toxic drugs and call it medicine. If men in high places cared about us, these men wouldn't fill our children with images of murder without consequences... glorify war without showing the dire cost of the death to innocents. If those that control the media cared about us, television might have a place in one's home but they do not. The men who control the media want to make us fat to make room for a thousand chemically preserved foods and make a thousand millionaires even more wealthy; the men who control the media want to pump us full of deadly vaccinations and give every man, woman, and child a daily dose of medication because the men who control the media are controlled by the same men who own the the drug companies. The men who control the media are controlled by the war machine that puts a violent vido game in the hands of every child. When it is all through, the television is a huge control mechanism that is designed to control you and me...and every man, woman, and child who has enough money to buy a tee vee...
The problem is... if one finds a way to unplug from the television, one has to fill one's day with other things. Finding those other things is what I do for me personally but for every person they must find their own way as well. If a parent or spouse can help their family find another way...go in a different direction...then little by little, one might find that they can slowly replace the men who control the media in their families lives...but it is an uphill battle. One I am losing today...but one I can not afford to lose forever...
This is the story of one person's advice I hold dear.
Dona Dona Dona
On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Don
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Don
Stop complaining, said the farmer
Who told you a calf to be
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallows so proud and free
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
Like the swallow must learn to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Don
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Don
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But who ever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has leaned to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Don
Dona Dona Dona Dona
Dona Dona Dona Don
Dana Dana (Original Yiddish)
oyfn furl ligt dos kelbl,
ligt gebundn mit a shtrik.
hoykh in himl flit dos shvelbl,
freyt zikh, dreyt zikh hin un krik.
lakht der vint in korn,
lakht un lakht un lakht,
lakht er op a tog a gantsn
mit a halber nakht.
dona, dona, dona, ...
shrayt dos kelbl, zogt der poyer:
ver zhe heyst dikh zayn a kalb?
volst gekert tsu zayn a foygl,
volst gekert tsu zayn a shvalb.
bidne kelber tut men bindn
un men shlept zey un men shekht,
ver s'hot fligl, flit aroyftsu,
iz bay keynem nit keyn knekht.
