good for him! I wish I had the willpower to do that.

tunegrabber, it would only require willpower if he wanted to watch TV but refused himself, but even then I'm not sure why refraining from watching television could be classed a moral act.

I thought he was Franciscan. I'm not Catholic but deeply admire the Franciscans. They are kind to animals and the poor, don't hunger for personal wealth. television is just a little part of how wonderful he is.

Gareth, I stopped watching TV 7 years ago when I moved. I did not have time to watch. One I did have time I had no desire.
