Today's Calvin & Hobbes is yet another great commentary.
When I was in elementary school I had a friend who decided to give up soft drinks for Lent. I wasn't a member of his church (or any church, for that matter) but if my best friend was gonna do it, well then so would I. We would make little jokes about how hard it was not drinking Coke or anything for what seemed an eternity at the time.
Then, Lent was over. I drank my first Coke and found that I wouldn't stand it. It wasn't until after high school that I could really stomach any soft drinks except Sprite.
For the past several years I've pretty much stopped watching TV, and now more and more I'm listening to CDs in my car and non-mainstream radio stations. When I turn on the radio or TV now it's kinda like when I was a kid: now that I'm not indoctrinated with it anymore I see just how bland it all is.
Calvin was such a smart kid.
