Watch the tube... all the contamination comes via TV. Stay with the
BBC shows and NATURE programs. Watch that lion roar... ;)

You mean BBC shows like Top Gear that celebrate the car and mock public
transportation and environazis? I have every episode from 2002-onwards
on my computer.
No, I meant nature shows mostly. PBS has a good chunk of BBC shows and
they are pretty cultural. The problem with American shows is the level
of violence and the SUV as the symbol of power in a subliminal
way.That show you mention is pretty sick maybe just stupid, as you may
see here...

I think they did something on the bicycles in Cuba. Some people adapt
mowing motors to bikes. I don't like bicycles as the only option as
they degrade the bicycle. Have they ever been fair? How about a show
on Amsterdam or Copenhagen where bicycles do work?
