It certainly would be a great thing if Canada were to follow the example of the U.S.

The excessive sound volume of the TV commercials is one of the reasons why I no longer watch TV.

The major reason is that the quality of the programs shown on TV has become so poor that when I watch TV at all, it is only to help me fall asleep within a minute or so after I begin watch a program.

I have discussed this with others and found that many of the people I spoke to about that also stopped watching TV for similar reasons.  After all, there is only so much of a continuous onslaught of propaganda anyone can take before being forced to tune out.  Misrepresentation, inanities, predictability of dialogue, in short, Propaganda of the worst kind.  In general, TV programs have become nothing but a vehicle for indoctrination through never-ending, mind-numbing propaganda.

The worst programs for the inundation with propaganda through TV are the news programs.  Those consist of political and commercial propaganda in equal proportions, even to the point were irritating, basal background “music” during the news is now the major part of an exceedingly irritating assault on the senses.

I cannot and will not take it anymore.  Too much is too much!
