With our own eyes we saw peaceful demons orators beaten by clubs and bitten by vicious dogs in Alabama during the civil rights move ment and were enraged to the Point of demanding Justice. Television brought the War in Vietnam into our living rooms and hastened its end. Through television we were made aware of a world that exists beyond our Borders.

Dear Steven right on brother while television has been referred o As chewing gum for the eyes its pros far outweigh its cons. A disclaimer television can be the Subtle thief of precious time so Don t fall into the Lazy habit of watch ing just anything that moves. Be selective. Images Are fleeting so make time o read. The written word can be read and reread. The heart of education is in our Litera Ture so read read read. Read for knowledge and read for pleasure.
