So I ask you: whose job is it in this country to wake up comatose parents? Someone better do it soon because knowing television's potential for harm and keeping that knowledge to ourselves instead of sharing it with parents amounts to covering up a land mine on a busy street. Jim Trelease
About This Quote

The best thing we can do as a society is to raise children with a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle. When people have a positive attitude about life they are more likely to live a healthier life and have more energy. If you have children who are afraid of school or never want to get out of bed then it is your job to wake them up from that state of depression. In the same way, if you have parents who have lost touch with reality and have become comatose, it is your job as a responsible adult to wake them up. This quote shows us that we all have a responsibility to take care of those around us, especially our parents.
