Very true Rhizo.
I would love to produce this 'evidence', but I don't know where to look or who to trust. I have seen a lot of stuff in these well respected journals and publications that I think is a load of hooey. As a proper freethinker (but not allowed in a freethinkers organization), I try to come to my own conclusions within my own sphere of understanding. It may be smaller than the understanding held by 'scientists', but it is un-fuck-with-able. If I had a good friend, who I knew in real life, and he or she was a 'scientist', and they knew some interesting facts, I would be happy to hear them out, and adopt the information. But I can't afford to base my opinions on something as subjective as the ideas of strangers.
I have read some articles about TV being good for you, and TV being bad for you. I would rather talk about my and your guys extensive personal experience with TV watching and its effects. Seems more constructive.
I like that you were offended by the website, I guess you didn't get the joke. They knew they would end up on the infamous FBI Disinformant list, so they named they forum (and books) Disinformation. It would be foolish to assume they are lying to us, and more likely that they have a functioning sense of humor. Go once a day, I guarantee there are few places on the net with more interesting news. Certainly can't be any worse than Fox or MSNBC.
I think you guys should base you opinions more on personal life experience, and less on what others tell you to believe. There is a lot of untruth out there. A lot.
Thanks.
