We did not replace our television when it died about ten years ago, but although we are fairly selective in what we watch, mostly films, we are still influenced by Hollywood. I think there is a great deal of propaganda woven into most feature films and I also think that the medium is used to prepare us for new situations in the future. Anyway thank you for stimulating me to make a comment.
