Once of even twice is fine, but every time I turn on the TV?

The Amish are more rooted in well thought out dogma. I have watched a few of the contest shows but I tape them and then I find myself looking at who was voted off etc. There is not much substance for sure. They make you a bit queasy in how low they will go to win.Ann Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759967601352382204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511550796165869351.post-30463585398351629362015-06-08T20:28:32.997-04:002015-06-08T20:28:32.997-04:00I'm also on the soapbox about native Americans...I'm also on the soapbox about native Americans. I've been reading about the rise in suicide of young native Americans plus other disturbing facts. I can't stand to see anyone especially children having difficult lives. For native Americans, I think their treatment has led to so much dysfunction and we should do better for them. I'm not holding my breath though.Ann Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759967601352382204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511550796165869351.post-74443043797150177712015-06-08T20:24:26.219-04:002015-06-08T20:24:26.219-04:00I've never been keen on tv.

The shows really disgust me. I really roll my eyes when they do something with the Amish. I grew up in Amish country and their reality isn't anything like what's on TV or in novels. I never watch contest shows eitherSusan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511550796165869351.post-16064404393252977512015-06-08T11:26:37.562-04:002015-06-08T11:26:37.562-04:00The acceptance of gay marriage and how fast it'...The acceptance of gay marriage and how fast it's happened is frightening.<br /><br />I'd like to see a show about Indians. We're always taking about civil rights and prejudice and most people overlook the fact that the Native American people got the shortest end of the stick.L.

I like to think what I want to think and not drown in the mass of what sells to the widest possible audience.
