Frightful Sizes

I am in Florida visiting my parents.  We walked in to lovely faces, happy embraces and the most grotesque thing I have ever seen – a television the size of a football field in my parents living room.  My favorite channel (please, PLEASE, sense the sarcasm) Fox News was on full blast and in real size…  Bill O’Reilly head was a little too big for my liking (yes, both size wise AND, as always, egotistically).  It scared me and it made me wonder why we are becoming a world full of people that keep needing things bigger and bigger and bigger.. lord have mercy – do we all need to drive tank sized SUVs and watch TVs that make the images larger than life?  I just don’t get it.  Anyone want to enlighten my archaic “less is more”, economy car driving self?
