The reason I live in Vermont and not in the media-blasting
metropolitan centers of this country is to escape the 24/7 "buy,"
"consume," "keep-up" culture our country promotes. Vermont is known for
its quiet low-key atmosphere, at least that is what we promote to the
outside world. Let's stay true to that perspective. I find the ever
present commercials disguised as "information" running over the produce
section in Shaw's an insult to my intelligence and avoid shopping there
as a result.
I enjoy TV and view it at leisure in my own home. I do not force anyone
else to watch or listen to my choices; please, do not force me to be
bombarded by yours. Who will decide what is "on"? Do we get to change
channels while waiting? Why do you feel I need to be
entertained/brainwashed for the few minutes I may have to wait for
service?
If you feel as I do, please make your opinion known to the bank. Maybe
we can keep our Valley free of this encroaching media diarrhea.
