Well. My fastlane is audio books entertainment. I know how to sell this and I know I can make money. But is entertainment bad? Is it selling something of no value. Something which is just meaningless and wastes peoples time. Or do you get something out of it? That holds up the wasted time.

Bascially, is there any value in entertainment? I know most people here think TV is bad. But is it really? Depends on what you watch, right? Soap operas are not a good way to spend a lot of time on in my opinion. But, what about Seinfeld? Or Friends?

Well. I got thinking about this again. Because NinjaKid said in another thread that TV is a waste and it turns your brain in to a vegetable?

I don't watch much TV now a days. And I sort of agree with that.
But would you guys consider humorous audio books a waste of time too?

Bascially, when are you not wasting your time?

I really just want to create value and not just make money for the sake of making money.

That's why I want to hear what some of you guys have to say about this.
