I think that we should return to the days of 7-inch round glass cathode-ray

a half-kilowatt off the line so that you could stare at a tiny screen. Just
think of the manufacturing cost of all those vacuum tubes.....probably
thirty tubes or so on the chassis. And, yes, don't forget about the solid
hardwood cabinets on those old sets eating up all the greenspace!

Yep, we should get back to basics.....it was a better world before these
"energy hog" plasma's came around to ruin our Planet.


Let me guess..you drive an SUV and leave it running when you go into
Starbucks Coffee.

Why else would you ridicule someone who is pointing out what a waste
of power these new toys are? Rampant consumerism is killing this
planet and the whole meaning of the Christmas season.
