The question isn't "Should I buy a shortwave radio?"

The question is "Should I get rid of my television?"

Old burnt out TVs are readily available in the back alleys of
Sacramento's Midtown District. I thought of taking one home, taking
pictures of me smashing it with a sledgehammer, then making a flyer with
the pic and the tagline KILL YOUR TV and posting them everywhere.

I should note that one rarely finds radios of any kind, even cheap
boomboxes, in the alleys. Just TVs-when the CRT dies they're useless. I
once found an old two tube portable record player, though, covered in
tweed, but the motor was bad.

I watch my TV for about an hour a day-a half hour for local news and a
half hour for national news. If I'm up late I may watch the 10pm news.
