Television

Barbara Kingsolver, writer/activist, once called television the "one-eyed monster." She is in part concerned about the images and violence shown; does she also have no Internet service? Ban bad print media? She doesn't like Bill Moyers or Democracy Now!? Oh, she allows videos and her children watch t.v. elsewhere. Moderation is good -- including in avoiding things that have a bad side. One can surely survive without television, but don't quite see the point. Your purity will be invaded somehow else, sure enough.
