Another Waste
This post/rant will be surrounding an interesting British Reuters article.
Can anybody else point out what’s wrong with what this article says, or is it just me? Since when is television a right and not a privilege? Why is the government spending money to give everyone, essentially, access to TV. Granted, the article does explain why they are doing it, but I still fail to see why it’s the government’s problem to provide access to the latest and greatest technologies to those that can’t afford it. Cut off the old airwaves, reap your bagillions in selling the spectrum to commercial wireless services and emergency uses, and be done with it. I mean, don’t we have other things, more extreme social problems, than people not being able to watch TV? Hell, if Senator McCain (R) can’t think of any, I’m sure I could come up with a few.
Note to McCain, the world will continue to function if people can’t watch TV. Doesn’t it just rot your brain anyways?

It is simple. It is supply and demand.
I mean, TV is the best propaganda device
currently available. If someone is smart,
enough to use the Internet. They usually
can find the truth. With TV, your side
with your complete control is presented.
This is why government always wants to
allow free TV.
Just an observation.

Television controls everyone directly and indirectly. What better and saturated way than digital to air propaganda and mind altering programs compared to the less effective and hazy looking analog

Like I said, I know the reasons theywant to do it, but that doesn’t make it right.
Also, Dan, what grey box?
