"You know, the 70 to 90% of America who hates this stuff should just tell the cable companies to stuff it for a year or two. I think they just might come around."
It's impossible to organize people to sacrifice like that these days. However, if you personally feel that cable is causing more harm than good in your household, get rid of it. I think kids raised without TV are better off anyway, and you can still have the broadcast channels for anything parituclarly important.
Agreed on all counts. I don't have children in the home any longer, but I do pitty the folks who do under this onslaught.
