Read a book, do some exercise, just get out of the house. Of course this will never happen, they know that Americans have become a bunch of internet-addicted couch-potatoes. And for the record, I've been cableless since Dec 2001 and am now a master at the NY Times Crossword puzzles  -- You people protect one of the most evil men (Saddam) on the face of this earth and wont lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby. Charlie Daniels speaking out against Hollywood. |
 | I'm with you, no cable TV, no broadband, no land line at home. The cost of goods and services are what people are willing to pay, not what you think it should be. As long as there are enough people to pay then these business will continue to charge. I personally don't think that most of these services are worth the money so I choose not to purchase. If enough people agree that it's not worth the cost, these companies will be forced to change or go out of business. I've chosen to read, exercise, and spend time with family and friends. I suggest an experiment for all you couch potatoes out there. Go without TV for one full week. You may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. |
