Making Your Own Decisions
There’s a campaign going on in Denver right now trying to get customers away from Quest, since they sold out to another company. It emphasizes “other people making your decisions.” They’re emphasizing that Quest is trying to make your decision as to who is your cable provider by selling out to an unknown company, and it’s very effective. But there ought to be a similar one being run by the Republican Party. There are many details that can be discussed in this, the most pivotal election I’ve personally seen since the one that elected Ronald Reagan. But more important is the BASIC concept of you being able to make your own decisions, and not have them left up to nameless, faceless bureaucrats, who may or may not (mostly don’t) have your best interests in mind. We can argue about “runaway spending,” “raising the debt limit,” socialism (and communism) vs. individualism (or conservatism), etc. But most important to you is stopping the government from taking over the making of your decisions. All other arguments are subsidiary to that. (Just common sense)

I have a beef about being forced to DTV. My kind government decided that is what I had to have, with no input from me or concern as to whether or not it would work for me. I used to have very few channels before as I only have rabbit ears, but now I have even less and most of them do not come in clearly enough to even watch. When they were pushing DTV on us they said we would have much better reception and many more channels. Instead, ths channels stall out, pixel out and down right disappear. If I change a channel I have to get up and move the antenna (so much for my remote controls, which now because of DTV I have 2 of). I cannot imagine I am the only one complaining of this problem. It is just that government does not care. They got what they wanted and to hell with whether or not we citizens are happy with it.
Anon: Typical.
