TV is a major cause of both ADD and depresssion.

Dear JG,

Yes, there's a definite connection between attention
deficit disorders and television. Both the TV programmers and advertisers want you to be constantly
attentive to their messages. To do this, they cut
ultra-rapidly from scene to scene. The TV image
rarely remains stable for more than 1 second. That
wasn't true 50 years ago, when television was in its
childhood. Cameras stayed focused on the same scene
for 10 to 15 seconds. It's not a coincidence that there
was no ADD back in the 1950s and 1960s.

Those quick cuts are terrible for your mind, and they
are HIDEOUS for your eyes. Two hours worth of TV forces
your eyes to refocus every second. That'a a staggering
amount of wear and tear on your eye muscles. Some
kids watch 5 or 6 hours of TV every day. It's no wonder
they can't adapt to a classroom which stays in focus
indefinitely.

TV is also a leading cause of depression. To my mind,
it's the #1 cause. Why? The programs and news shows
are full of negative energy. Good news is NOT news!
TV fills your mind with profoundly negative energy:
hatred, violence, guilt, rage, fear, envy, jealousy,
and ongoing anxiety. Only a fool would say he can watch
TV and not be affected by the tsunami of negative
energy that pours out of that tube.

The commercials all intend for you to feel bad about
some part of yourself. Why? So that you will buy the
product they offer, which, according to them, is the
only thing that will make your feel better about
yourself.

So listen to your intuition, JG, and turn off your TV.
Trust me. You won't miss it. I watch no television.
I will never watch television. It's the greatest scam
of the last 100 years; a medium which only exists to bring viewers into the presence of advertisers; a cold
and heartless medium that has done infinite damage
to the United States.

That's the end of my rant. You get the idea.

Blessings,

Owen
