A Kinder, Gentler, TV Turnoff Push

It’s Tilt-At-Windmills Week again, otherwise known as TV Turnoff Week, when do-gooders across the U.S. beg, plead, and otherwise cajole us to snap off the tube and for-God’s-sake-do-something-with-our-lives. But this year, you may not notice the usual screeching about the evils of television, because proponents of the turnoff effort are taking a new tack, and you probably won’t even know they’re working on you unless you’re paying close attention.
