I went into the magazine/sundry store at the train station a few weeks back and was horrified to see that they had installed tvs carrying FOX and it was loud. I asked the woman at the counter why they had it and were they insane (yeah my filter is gone). She looked surprised. So I told her I would never shop there again and left. Like I couldn't find another place selling magazines in Penn Station. Complain loudly and often. It works.Pissed in NYChttp://icantbelieveitsnotademocracy.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-16130793198560050022009-10-17T17:25:34.484-04:002009-10-17T17:25:34.484-04:00FIlter schmilter.

I wonder if she could have muted it, even if for medical reasons. "This bullshit is giving me a headache." <br /><br />Incidentally, I was about to stage a bus walk-out, which no one else would have gone along with, I suppose. University shuttle bus drivers should not be able to blare Rush Limbaugh's hate speech out very loudly on a bus paid for by tax dollars. My ride ended and I just fumed about it. <br /><br />It makes me wish I had carried around a portable projector so that I could project "Sicko" or other socialist propaganda on the the bus walls in times like those.Freida Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11489663202315694313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-44832483777809688852009-10-17T11:02:13.196-04:002009-10-17T11:02:13.196-04:00Most people keep the television on constantly as s...Most people keep the television on constantly as some kind of white noise distraction, and for people like you and me who don't, we're not conditioned to see it as some needed comfort.

I really do not like television, especially Fox. <br /><br />I've been known to turn it down, turn the channel or turn it off myself without asking. It has to be plugged in so unplugging it is best.
