It's easier just to say it doesn't matter what you watch, because then you can watch whatever you want without having to consider the effect it might have. I still can't believe the idea that intake DOESN'T affect output has any legitimate traction. Yeah, it's an easier way to avoid personal responsibility, but it's absurd. It's like saying what you eat doesn't affect your health. Admitting that intake affects output would require responsibility in monitoring intake.

I always interested in tracking the sources of such expressions as "how __ is that", "ginormous", "Snap", "yada yada yada" and "hellO!" When it seemed everyone began using them, I figured they had a common source...yep, Hollywood. and P.S. : so true about the Seinfeld effect (as well as other programs and movies).

I appreciate the passion behind this post. It is so refreshing to hear someone think clearly and speak up. Keep it up! Our children are worth of second of conscientious (phew, almost misspelled that!) parenting. Thanks for the encouragement. Wow and amen! I appreciate the passion behind this post.
