Free to be Brainwashed

Since several weeks there are students protests that began with the raise of school cost, but now it has degenerate and they manifest about everything and anything, only to bring anarchy and chaos in some cities of the Province of Quebec.
So, what do the medias talk about every time we turn the radio or TV on or open a newspaper or go on the local news internet sites? 3 things mainly.

One of those 3 things is polluting the news all year long here… Hockey!
Ok, lets get things strait, I don’t like hockey… Let me rephrase this… I HATE HOCKEY!!
All my life I saw men, my dad included, lobotomised by hockey on TV and always talking about it when they were not in front off their TV.
I was strongly encourage to play hockey when I was young, but I hated it. I would have loved to play baseball or football, but no… All they have in mind always was hockey !!

Now, to add more pain to my agony, Quebec City mayor decided to build a new arena to encourage NHL with their decision to put back a team in Quebec City.

It make me sick to my stomach to watch the city degrade like it is. 75% of the roads are worst than Beirut’s. The bridges aren’t better, but it is much more important to build a $400,000,000 arena.
400 millions is only the projected cost, but we all know by experience that the bill will be near the billion at the end of the project.
Stupid men can’t make nothing else but stupid decisions!

Another trash news is all the politic related news, because they never are constructive. It only complaining and no solutions.

And a world wide problem I think is the negativity of the medias.
Everyone who follow the news on a regular basis are submitted to fear campaigns and negative side of everything.

So every time I switch on the radio or find myself with news or stupid shows on TV at families or friends houses (don’t have TV feed at my house for more than a year now) or open a newspaper, I find myself with news about hockey, out of control students, bad politic or hockey again.

That’s why since 2 years my wife and I have decided to cut off public TV, radio and newspapers, to regain all the time we lost in front of a TV, and to begin to read good books written by world leaders and listen to leadership and self-development CD/MP3.

We learned how to improve our finances, the relationship between my wife and I and relationships with others, our attitude in front of LIFE obstacles, etc.

It’s like we took a different LIFE path from the majority of the population and even if we shout at them that they are on a path that goes strait into a abyss, only a handful of them will listen, the others just follow the herd, blindly into a life of mediocrity.

Let’s go back to hockey… My goal is not to say hockey lovers are idiots.
My goal is to underline the habit of wasting a huge part of LIFE like Homer Simpson in front of the TV watching sports, mainly for guys or shows and soaps for women.
We have so much time to do all sort of great things once we decide to cut the dependence to TV.

It’s spring and I take every minutes I have to go out with my wife and our dog.
It’s hockey series time right now and I think there are games every nights;
It makes me almost mad to see 9 houses out of 10 with TVs on and 8 of those 9 TVs are showing hockey.
Weather is beautiful, days are longer, but the streets are empty, almost a ghost town, in every houses, we see people brainwashed, almost with roots in their couches.
Dark living rooms with blue lightning thunderstorms.

It’s so ridiculous to think about people who would told us to be careful with our books and self-development CDs, because we could be brainwashed…
Poor idiot… They don’t even realise that I may be brainwashed, but it is with good stuff, I choose to read or listen, not by all sort of imposed media propaganda or people stupid opinions.

Remember… Leaders are readers.

Have an excellent day, God bless.
