This should come as no surprise. DirecTV has a history of not protecting information. A few years ago when they cracked down on so-called pirates, they posted people's social security numbers and in some cases, their medical records as part of the court documents, which are now public record. When apprised of this situation, DirectTV refused to redact the information.

Mr. Smith should throw his TV out the window. I stopped watching TV in college, when I couldn't afford one.

Years later I dated a woman who liked to watch TV and discovered that it was like watching broadcasting from another planet. It was loud, boring, and inane. The things that are supposed to be funny, aren't. The news is so shallow that it's meaningless. And being bombarded by commercials is just too much.

If you go without TV for long enough, you will see how strange it is.

Without TV, you will go visit friends, build stuff in your shop, go outside, read books, play your guitar. Live life more fully.

How many of your limited number of heartbeats do you want to waste staring at a screen?

bah, I'm going for a walk.
