Eric, I would agree with you except that without inflecting
some real pain back to the cable/phone companies we are just saying that
we are happy with the current contracted "death by a 1000 cuts" @ 
xxcuts/day.

The last ( pathetic )election was sort of a vindication between the big 
contract companies and
that "elected officials" joke that if enough money if transfered they can
do whatever they please whenever they please.

On a recent Sunday when "60 Minutes" was delayed by a feetball thing.
the crap/content ratio from the very end of the game to the 60 Minutes
signoff was over 50%!!

" Would the last surviving members of the American middle class please
turn off the lights when leaving the building".
