Do I Really Hate TV?

I want to be internally consistent. The last thing I want to be is a hypocrite. I think it is nine kinds of horrible to say one thing and do another. To say I want small government and then support increasing the social safety net. Or tell Mackenzie she can't have chocolate every day and then have a small piece of chocolate every day. It's just a small piece and I'm already grown it's okay for me.

I pride myself on the fact that if I find an inconsistency in my view of the world I will change something to make my beliefs consistent. For example I noticed I was doing just what I said above regarding chocolate. So I stopped eating chocolate every day. Later in the year I'm going to explore my political versus my social and religious beliefs and see if I can find any inconsistencies. You must be careful with this because it borders on justification unless you really change your core thoughts. Say that in the other example I decide it's more important to help people then I can never say I am for small government again.

I have always said I hate TV. I really watch very little. A couple sitcoms and pro cycling. However, one of my dreams has always been to write on a sitcom. By dream I really mean fantasy because I have never done a thing to move toward it and I never will. I'm okay with that as I've found a passion in Architecture. How can I hate something that I want to do though? That is inconsistent. So I will never say I hate television again. I will say this though. TV should been treated like any intoxicant. Taken in moderation.
