I forgot just what they were, but I've never seen a credible rebuttal to Jerry Mander's conclusion that TV fucks up your brain. Actually, I'd watch more if I had the time, but four hours a week of Stewart/Colbert is all I can usually manage.
I'm one of the ignorant monolingual types so typical of the U.S.A. When I studied Francais at school, I noticed that I did some thinking in the language, and felt that it was speeding up my thought processes, much like a multi-threaded CPU. I thought if one could grok the subtle differences between word translations it could increase intuitive understanding of reality. Is Dr. Lauchlan the first one to actually look into this?
I've been discounting the spin from the Wall Street Journal ever since Rupert Murdoch took over. Not disregarding, just adding a few more grains of salt.
I think Wal-mart's shoddy generic imported merchandise is equivalent to the similar shoddy merchandise available at every other store in my region. It is hard work to find any good quality, e.g. I drive to San Leandro for German wrenches &c. (I can remember when small foundries were still scattered around the U.S.A. competing in that market.)
I had a boss do that once, I surprised the hell out of everyone when I showed up at work. (My brother, Maharishi Bob, was a sight when he dropped by later as I'd given him my ticket. Mick Jagger threw a bucket of water at him.)
That won't help once the facial recognition database gets up to speed. I often amuse myself imagining what sort of picture my (outlying) stats have provided to big brother. Beer Raw pizza ingredients Weird little bits o' hardware nothing else. I guess they probably have a fairly accurate reading, somehow filling in the blanks with projections from others.
Hence the fifty-yard distance between the chicken coop and every other building on the farm. (The old outhouse was midway between there and the house.)
I feel that I earn my view by watching the commercials (or muting them whilst I dash for a fresh brew), and I resent being a pawn in Viacom's failed negotiations. I already eschew the CCTV and Satellite television as they are not worthwhile for my purposes. Greedy Bastards.
Asphalt is not tarred Macadam. Tarred Macadam can easily support as much weight as it is built for. Maybe a latex emulsion could be used which would not be sticky when hot.
The demographics of the immigrants to California have skewed toward crazy for the past one-hundred and sixty years. Almost every one of my acquaintances is completely taken in by television propaganda, and I imagine that the cognitive dissonance would make anyone crazy. I'm fairly certain that the local consensus is that I am a complete nutter. Their perceptions may not be entirely mistaken.
The plural of medical viruses is viruses, so I would interpret the OP's use of the term on a biological noun (government personnel) as being incorrect. YMMV.

I wonder how long these artifacts will be lying on the Martian surface. Quite a bit more weather than the Moon.
GOOOOOALLL!
Orange dirt.
Close up.
Cool.
Waiting...
Rock on!
We have a touch-down.

It's ironic how often I have to clear my nytimes cookies so that I can read their stupid newspaper. I guess a true Pirate would script that.
Think about it.
There, did you notice how words defined and directed your thoughts?
That is all.

The Tripartite dudes were kinda linked, but how did we ever hook up Iraq with Iran?

Aside from a proclivity to fart in my direction, what is so disgusting about French men?
General decline of melliferous bees /= Colony Collapse Disorder.
Perhaps you should not disregard every fact associated with hyperbolae?

This is what I got into science for.
Sounds like something worth at least ten, maybe fifteen bucks a month. I'd be happy to get three years for fifty bucks ...if they upgraded to fiber.

Read up on your evolutionary theory.
