Subj : Broadband. To : ED VANCE From : Ross Cassell Date : Sat Oct 08 2005 08:55 pm Hello ED! 07 Oct 05 19:46, you wrote to CHARLES ANGELICH: EV> I don't want their service since I believe that I'd be paying for EV> their equipment to broadcast the filth they provide on their system. You owning a radio doesnt pay for the equipment that has broadcast radio stations playing some of that RAP style music which has advocations of violence and cuss words and other degrading terms. Cable Companies and the various channels dont derive the bulk of their income from you, they get most of it from advertising. The monthly fee you pay wont even pay the 8 hour salary for a cable company lineman. Dont like the filth, find who are sponsoring the show or channel and dont buy those products, get organized start a letter writing campaign to the sponsors. You are using the Internet arent you, dont look now, but there is far more filth on it than on cable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When was the last time a child molester stalked a child on cable TV, happens all the time on the internet, yet you are supporting the internet by using it!! Your position is highly illogical and probably very prudish. There is filth all around you ED, even in backwoods Indiana, every aspect of life offers a risk of it, if you arent shunning the internet, then you shouldnt be shunning CATV with the possibility of getting broadband, which blows dial up all to hell :-) EV> I know there are a lot of good programs in the cable service too, but EV> I don't want to help them maintain their gear that handles the bad EV> along with the good stuff. Dont worry you wouldnt be.. EV> Just my humble opinion. ;-) I dont think you were too well informed when you devised it. == Ross Fidonet Feeds Or Fidonet In Your Newsreader! http://www.easternstar.info Blog: http://www.cassell.us Email: rcassell[at]gmail[dot]com ....
