Greg - I don't think television is evil inherently. I am wondering if we'd be better off without it as a people, even better off without movies perhaps or football on TV. Would our society be more local, go to plays with local talent and have sports orgaized around local clubs. The age of television or moving images is relatively smaller than a blip in history. Without expounding, my answer seems to come up "yes." I do think being warned of hurricanes is good and probably more applicable than tornadoes. All in all, I do agree that there are redeeming qualities. If we even could consider all things, when we did would we find TV to be an overall positive or detriment? I don't know but suspect it would be in the negative. Honestly, I don't even know if this is a wise thing to do. Shane - Good to hear from you brother. I am thankful for the school and our wonderful teachers like Heather. Derek Heather -

It has some very useful and beneficial qualities like being able to tune into the news when a tornado is headed our way or entertaining us occasionally with football or a movie. Like most other good things in this life we fallen, sinful creatures use things to extremes and let them become idols rather than using them for good purposes only. Isn't this the case with all technological advances? Greg Derek,

I'm just wondering how you ended up with all of the television quotes looking for that one, unless they were all by Muggeridge. That’s a wonderfully applicable quote.
