Just kidding. <BR/><BR/>Some souls are already cured of the disease. I am reviewing a book called (this is true) "Get More Like Jesus While Watching TV" by Pollard and Couch. Amazingly, the book is not a parody. I can think of a sequel, "Get More Like Jesus While Building the Tower of Babel" or "Get More Like Jesus While Sacrificing Your Children in the Fire."

This was one of life's most valuable lessons that I have learned, and I learned it from you. It's one of those things that we often don't think about until someone like yourself speaks out against it. <BR/><BR/>TV is a poison.
