"I don't own a TV and if you do take it out leave it for trash collections. You are much better off to just listen to the authentic voices around you and reading books. One of the dangers is that we have severed ourselves from a print base culture and we have been manipulated by images, we have been made to confuse what we feel with knowledge... and I really try to shut the can't of the electronic media out and try to be rooted in print, so I can think because of the object is to stop you from thinking. One needs solitude and quiet to think. The cacophany of culture have made it impossible for us to think. " Chris Hedges
