9. I decided that

TeeVee was a waste of $$ and brain cells so I haven't had one for years... 1980 to be precise. On occasion there is something I want to see but it's more often than not something I can access online and if it isn't, it's either something a friend is going to watch and I'll go to their place or I decide that it's something I can live without.

I have a great advantage by not being anywhere near a city of any size, I actually have more choice... at least I think I do.

And, on my no-income at the moment lifestyle, cable is out of the question, DSL costs half as much as you pay for cable and I get more out of it than I could from a receiver.

But back to the topic, I think that there were a bunch of disrespectful terms and rants that became the status quo after the 2008 election simply because we managed to break the norm of the system which made the hate screamers, with no options but to throw temper tantrums all over the place, blow their collective gaskets... seems it's all they know how to do anymore. They instigate fear and hate and won't have it any other way until they get back to old, white, rich guys driving us into the sunset of humankind as their "chosen one".
