What do you watch?

Tonks:
I agree with you Lee. I think that the media is a major source of 
the problem with our society today. Of course when I was a child we 
didn't have TV. (remember me folks, I am the one that lives in the 
cave.) We didn't have TV until I was 9 years old and the shows that 
came on (in the 1950's) taught kids right from wrong and good family 
values. (I sound like a consertive here and I am not.) I like the HP 
books because I think it is teaching the children things that need 
to be taught. I hate to think what our society will be like in 
another 20 years.
