Uh, has your teacher watched commercials on Lifetime recently? Or for that matter, any commercial on during the day.
Women in these commercials breed, praise Wal*Mart, strive to please their husbands and families, and cook amazing meals. And that's it.
Unless they're working on -top- of that.
Bull shit bull shit bull shit.

yeah it has this great news show called democracy now that is hosted by amy goodman who talks about everything that should be on the news from politics to the environment to international affairs. it is so cool.

the channel and get weird. but i've seen some pretty interesting documentaries on it. one of which is called "Toxic Sludge is Good for you" where it just talked about how since the beginning of the 20th century our the american government has sold wars to people. it also mentioned alot about how corrupt the media was...

great documentary. i think it was based on the book. anyway. yeah if you have any friends with a dish...definitely look for it.
