Lets make April "Nobody use the Internet or watch TV" month and see what happens.

I'd actually rather see April be a "no one pay your taxes" month and starve this government into submission.

They're simply all getting out of hand... there seems to really be NOTHING that resembles a politician actually representing the people any more.. It would be nice to send a clear message that the people DO have the power in this country still.

what; we don't.. i thought they made that pretty clear by now... :P

Good point though! EMS is important.

Difficult to catch it on radio, I don't listen to radio at home, there are various mediums which provide music without commercials and inane disk jockey talk, such as IPOD, CD's, etc.

When in the car, I listen to satellite radio, and no EBS on that either.

I catch it on radio more often than TV.

Somewhere lost in all of the news coverage is that this is TELEVSION, not an IV drip being delivered to a dying cancer patient.

This country could stand a few days away from the TV.

I agree with the idea that people need to get out more, but TV is critical to the Emergency Broadcast System. How many times have you caught an EBS alert on broadcast radio lately?

travelguy posted : That didn't stop one of the administration supporting national TV networks from running a story on their evening news where the poor nursing home volunteer couldn't pick up any channels and residents were forced to play cards all afternoon instead of watching Judge Judy. They casually mentioned that the TV was working a few hours later when they hooked their box up correctly.
