Television is evil

Personally,I do not watch any telivision. There are two reasons for this: my parents cancelled our cable and I, simply, do not have the time. No, my parents did not cancel the cable because I am a bad kid, but because my three younger siblings would rather watch science on the discovery channel than do their science homework. When my parents first cancelled the cable, I was in a fit: What will I do with my life?! I realized, over time, that I really do not miss the television. I do more productive things(such as this blog on a Wednesday night) and make better grades. I can honestly say that I do not miss watching The Bad Girls Club, Sixteen and Pregnant or CSI on Wednesday nights.
It is quite sad and shocking that more Americans watch the Grammy's than the Nobel Prize. This predicament is similar to a cartoon we observed in English class. It was the cartoon encompassing the trashy woman voting for American Idol over the presidency. This highlights our country and generation's poor values. American Idol and the Grammy's will be arbitrary compared to a Nobel Prize in Physics, in twenty years. For example, we still use Polonium in Chemistry(Marie Curie, Nobel Prize winner, discovered)but I am not aware of the accomplishments of ANY Grammy winners of the past. Our youth needs to shift their focus to more infinite causes that actually matter.
