Recent news reports point out that some military men and women who spend hours controlling unmanned drones on military missions in Iraq, witnessing the destruction and deaths of targets, have been reportedly suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.

So what do people think television, with all the depicted violence, sex and killings, is doing to the children who spend so many hours watching?

It’s time to throw the TV out and recapture the children. People need to spend time playing with their kids.

I don’t have a TV or a computer, and I am still alive and much happier.
