"Television is an invention whereby you can be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your house." David Frost----- Am I the only one who cheered when Slim Fast fired Whoopi Goldberg for her obscene remarks about Pres. Bush? Entertainers have way too much exposure in television and in our lives these days. I have threatened to quit watching the Today show because it seems every segment is about the clothing of Paris Hilton, or the latest husband of Britany Spears, or a new report on the trial of Michael Jackson.----- Are there any role models out there in that world? Then why do we bother to let our children watch and hear them? I can't help but worry about my Maddie when she grows out of her "princess" stage with Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and comes face to face with the Olsen twins or their counterparts.-----O Lord, help us to be role models and to tell our children stories of great and real role models like Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Marian Anderson, Mother Teresa, Esther, Mary and Lydia. And, oh yes, help us punch the off button more often.
