I apologize for letting everyone marinate in the last post for the last few days. I had the intent of putting something else up after and never made it happen. So, to change the mood and share some happy fun cheery informationally splendid content, I offer you a peek into Current TV. Chances are the more “hip” and aware portion of you all have been reading and watching this for a while now. I finally just had the blessed experience of catching my first episodes last week. I DO NOT like television for the most part. I think it’s terribly useless and dramatically out dated in its content and its format. These were my glum emotions towards it about a week ago, I now can be proud to say, some friends (Tran & Josh) shared their T.V. and couch long enough to share this wondrous broadcast treat. It showed me that there is hope for television as a device to share information and offer people a chance to be involved. The show is comprised of mostly user generated content and gives viewers less shit and more info. It’s almost set up like a series of short infomercials or documentaries. Some of what is aired is chosen by viewers and other, by the producers. It puts television back in the hands of the intent and caring public, without bashing you in the face with subliminal corporate bias. There is also a really good website that goes along with the whole scheme as well. Make sure to check ‘em both out, share what you like, and maybe what you don’t like. I like it, maybe you will too?

Don’t forget, it’s just as much our responsibility to write, as it is your’s to participate in our blog (along with any other) in the form of comments and discussion. It’s what separates involved and productive citizens from evil consumers…

Oh you can find the times and channels the broadcasts air, on the website.
