New years revolutions for America:

  1. Shoot your tv. It's killing you. Right now America is the realization of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. In the movie Americans resisted getting their lives snatched away but once it happened, they were content. In reality it was so gradual nobody knew to resist. Imagine the enormous collective sigh of relief across the nation when, at the same moment every man, woman and child throws off the chains of tv watching.

It just hit me what the number one purpose of television is, the reason why the federal government mandates free tv so all may view it. It gives us role models– tv shows people going to work, drinking alcohol for fun and involving themselves in only the mudanities of their personal lives, usually restricted to their own abode. Ever wonder why there's never been a sitcom about the crew of the Rainbow Warrior or Sea Shepherd out there trying to save whales from whalers? How about a bunch of good citizens by day, vandalizing construction equipment by night in aid of Mother Nature? How about a drama based on the lives of a quirky bunch of homeless people? Well, as exponentially more interesting as that would be, got no industrial strength role models there.
More than anything else, tv shows us inmates how to use our lives to perpetuate the insane asylum that is modern America.

      1. Reduce to rubble with a framing hammer your computer thereby reclaiming the real world. This means all your imaginary friends will die. Yahoo! Read the book Making Friends and Influencing People and then go out and make friends to replace your recent casualties. Instead of being entertained, be entertaining. Be like a Mexican and learn the guitar. Sing. Just go out and lay on the ground. You now have the free time for that.

That's all
