Weird Science Revisited

Guess what? People who don't own a car or TV are less likely to have a heart attack. They spend less time sitting and more time walking or riding a bike. See the article from Agence France Press on Breitbart.

I write this from CA, a place where almost everyone including the very poor own both car and TV. There are few places in the U.S. where one can manage a life without a car, oddly San Francisco is one of them.

TVs are very cheap entertainment; a few years ago I bought a little color set for maybe $70. Virtually the only U.S. people without TVs are anti-entertainment cranks and the homeless.
