How are we being programmed?

1. You can't watch news on the Internet without it being a video that you have to watch 15-30 seconds of an advertisement before you can get to the substance. Why can't they have a plain text version?

2. You have to pay $60 a month for television with commercials. Aren't the commercials supposed to pay for commercial TV?

3. Commercial TV used to be 27 minutes of a show and 3 minutes of commercials. Now its about 17/13.

The only reason I even have a TV service provider is to keep my wife happy. She watches all those high intellect shows such as "Dancing with the Stars"

4. We are forced to sit back while school boards raise our taxes to put astro turf on high school football fields! And if you vote those people out, the next group will do the same!

It amazes me how we have allowed ourselves as a populace to be programmed by those who are in control. Slowly and surely we have come to accept as normal things we would never have accepted at all 20-30 years ago.

I am interested to hear the thoughts of others who are thinking along these lines. I have seen the movie "Alone in the Wilderness". I used to think the guy was crazy. Maybe he had just had enough of the BS. Maybe I am just getting old.
