Damn right they can't make it unimportant! Imagination is the great rescuer when reality is a little harsh, and who gets to judge where inspiration for imagination comes from?
I know more than a few people who say, "I don't watch television." They say it in the same tone of voice that they might say, "I don't use heroin." I mean come on!
I have heard that as well--TV rots the brain and all that, as if there's nothing at all good that can come of it. Total bullshit. For one thing, TV shows kids/people in some bad situations that there are alternatives out in the world, and that alone is huge.
Absolutely! And think of shows for kids like Sesame Street and Electric Company that gave powerful but gentle lessons on racism and sexism and just growing up to be a decent person.
thankee:) It's just such a huge thing, and people who don't get it REALLY seem ... baffled, is the nicest word I can come up with.
Got any more PotA floating around in that head of yours by any chance? By the way, LOVE your PotA vid, The Lunatics--it's on rotation in my big old vid show that Cass and I watch. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed that you're into some of the same fandoms as me.
