You've
given up all the power to jackasses like Turner, the cable outfits and the
satellite scumbags. Americans have backed themselves into a corner. They all
want to drink from the hose but the water valve is now controlled by someone
else.

You ain't seen nuttin' yet...wait till the REAL digital "high def" bull****
TV begins their squeeze on what you can watch and what you can't.


I am seriously thinking of turning off the TV cable altogether. There
are only five or six things on that are worth watching *ever*, and
most of them are available elsewhere.
