Mother says to baby "No honey,mommy's busy, why don't you watch tv? Look sugar,look what's on!" Do you think it's safe, to sit your child down in front of a monster? The cycloptic babysitter, blood red images flash across it's screen. Pandora's cable box, sure,there's sesame street and Mr. Rogers to improve their intellect, but what about the playboy channel? Does THAT improve their little minds? Is it that we don't HAVE the time, or we just don't take it, making sure our kids don't have a bloodthirsty monster .......for a babysitter. And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

Is it just paranoia or are they really out to get you. Perhaps its just a game Do children understand what they see or does it have to be explained "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore- Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." |

Swamp, I stopped watching TV years ago I'm not hooked up to cable, I rent a few movies, I also think this cycloptic babysitter will rune this world, along with credit cards. Thank you for your insight on this. and it's a great post. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

 Like Scottish grannies will tell you: "Aye son, it's the Devil's Fishtank right enough..." Never a truer word...  [This message has been edited by allan (edited 05-26-2000).] |

True. It reminds me exactly of a speech I gave on the effects violence on t.v. has on children a few months ago in English. I believe the cycloptic monster must be stopped! Joy |

This babysitter is not so much a child carer as it is a child scarer! |

Thank you Joy and Jana!! it's a real shame that life is the way it is..we don't have time for anything...or we think we don't. I guess it all depends on what is most important to you. THANKS!!!!!!!!! SwampFaeryie And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |
