Many people do not use their brains for many reasons. One of them is fear of being thought of as a conspiracy theorist.
Thought for the day:
You are not a conspiracy theorist if you read in between the lines,
Only if you write in between them.
After wisdom there is peace,freedom, and focus. Before wisdom there is everything else.

Have you heard about how Ray Bradbury has recently been saying the Fahrenheit 451 wasn’t intended to have a free speech message, just one against television? (your post reminded me of that :o)
I really do hate how some people think you’re a nutjob if you think outside the box or try to explain hidden motives… >_
Okay, I changed the quote for a bit. Let me know which form you like better.
I always took Bradbury’s book the way he meant it but I think it is fairly easy to take it as a story about free speech and rightfully so. I think books convey a depth of information and a depth of thought you will not find elsewhere in print, most certainly not in television.
And most definitely not on web boards!
When I read F451 I didn’t really get the telly thing as a major theme… I thought the main theme was infringement on free speech, heh.
I’ll have to say that now that I have less time to waste because of work, I’ve spent more time reading and much, much less time watching the TV or surfing.
