8. Our culture is being replaced by the Mexican culture as radio, televison, cable, business, education, print media and other services go Spanish.

I was channel surfing recently. Finally, I found something worth watching - "The Right Stuff".

I tuned into a scene where the technicians were in an international monitoring station. They actors were speaking French. Then they went to the capsule. Tom Hanks was speaking French too.

"Wait a second, that's not French, it's Spanish!"

One fvqing movie on worth watching and it's in Spanish!

We have a number of television channels in spanish now. We even have one HBO channel that is full time Spanish now. Of course we have the Showtime Gay channel too. Well it's gay programming quite often as I pass by.

One night I was looking for at least a "b" movie to watch. Of the premium channels, one was Spanish, two were foreign films with sub-titles (sometimes I feel like one, sometimes I don't), two had men rolling around in bed with other men. Two or three others were older movies with all black actors, more like "b-" movies (no pun intended).

Above and beyond this problem, the movies on the premium channels have gone so far south I can't imagine them getting worse.

Who is it out there that wants to watch Barbara Streisand movies? The other night they had Klute on. The other movies are often ones that never made it to the movie theaters. Makes me wonder why I bother paying the fees, but then some nights I'd like to put something on so I keep the cable.
