With the internet, I pick and choose and don't have shows spoon fed to me. I watch TV in hotels and get my fill there. Will I never have a TV? Never say never, but I don't even think about it usually. I don't feel deprived. I would feel invaded if I had a TV in my house. I am just used to it this way. My very liberal sister (I mean vegetarian, environmentalist type) doesn't have a TV either.

Good argument from a non UPC stance. There are many logical arguments for not having a cable/satellite TV in my opinion. (one of them is my wallet).

On a moral issue I think the heart is in the bolded of your post. The same content is on both and while the internet has it readily accessible, you pick and choose whether you indulge in poison or flowers. The UPC is consistent in that it strongly advises filters for the internet. They are not necessarily completely hypocritical on it.
