Thought for the Day
...Or week... fortnight... whatever...
Religion is the opiate of the masses.
--Karl marx
Consider instead that television has become the opiate of the masses. Consider also how television has superseded the role of "religion" in terms of storytelling/mythology and as a source for morality. Consider the decline in popularity of religion with the rise of television.
Discuss.
