TV is fine in moderation but in general we try to live an active life and to be an active participant in life. We would rather make mad passionate love then watch porn, rather sweat and compete making new friends on the hardcourts than watch a basketball game, rather live our own lives than watch "The Real World," or soap operas. But we really like the Family Guy, The Colbert Report, CSI.
Well, I personally like Emma Goldman's Living My Life. Ecce Homo by Friedrich Nietzsche, The Autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi. The Tao te Ching as translated by Stephen Mitchell. Che, A Revolutionary Life, by Jon Lee Anderson. Static by Amy Goodman. Comedies among other genres.
Everyday people who make small sacrifices on a daily basis. People who volunteer, who are open, who treat everyone they meet as a brother or sister.
