<<What takes place in my home...is...not subject to "political-economic policy" enforcement...Rarebird>>
ok, and i wish not to debate your personal situation, just to make an observation that you have stated many time the fact that television usage in your home is limited based on your conclusion that it delivers not which you classify as correct and also a possibility to harm if received.
The above my words, not yours, as you only stated that very little t.v. watching is done at you residence, and the above is my reading between the one line you posted.
Using you as a real peson, I ask a hypothetical question about another person who considers what you do, as to represent what we tag as role models.
This is 180 degrees from the Ron Reece's role model, as Ron puts forth his posts with hidden instructions that all he says is truth until proven wrong, and your stand is that it's each and every person's responsibility to understand what truth is, and then apply it.
So hypothetically a person asks you to help explain his state of confusion.
Question: That which is broadcasted through the television is a product of that you called "political-economic policy", which is simply, using those expressions "the real world" and "reality" that you have but no choice but to accept and enter and interact with. You will ofcourse mention that your thought process is seperate, but I will mention that no matter what thoughts you decide as correct, that you are limited and restricted in how you can implement what you decide as correct, based on the rules and regulation of laws and other persons reactions to what you do or say.
Guess the real question is as follows from a saying.
"Know you enemy."
What better way to do that is there than to receive that information already packaged for greatest impact and manipulation effect than the t.v. ?
Surely you admit that its an ongoing study to keep up with an ever changing incorrectness, as the pool of this incorrectness is large and deep with constant exchanges as when a bad is not working it will be replaced with another variant of bad to fit the situation to either corrupt good or hurt the good.
