I no longer believe...

...the US government represents "the people".

We live in an age when corporations pull the strings and the government marionettes dance.

Welcome to the New World(tm).

You got that right.

If I want a channel that's not in my "package", I have to buy another package, even though there are 30 channels in my current package I never, ever watch.

That's the flaw in the argument. I can't trade channels to see what I want - I'm forced to buy high $ packages to get what interests me.

As for channel surfing, since the networks bought into the cable channels there's very little original programming. Endless reruns of network shows - wow. Just how much Law & Order do we need to see? ESPN no longer carries sports - they just talk about it a lot. No, thanks.

And I thought it was just me paying $60/mo (2nd lowest package) for nothing more than a clear picture and endless variety of commercials that will change my life.

Personally, I could give a crap less about packages yadda yadda - I want more than ONE cable co in my area, only then will prices begin to be reasonable.
