Hello Ed!

Good morning to you Ed..

I've had time to contemplate a more proper responce
to your delima?

I can understand not wanting to pay $30 or $40 US a month
for Cable TV. when you have access to the Local
annalog Over the air broadcast with Rabit ears, or a
cheap Radio Shack Color TV antena..

I'm paying Time Warner $104.00 per month for
HDTV Digital and Full Bandwidth RoadRunner Cable Modem service.

However, your Quot below deserved a better responce..

 EV> I don't want to help them maintain their gear that handles the bad
 EV> along with the good stuff.

 EV> Just my humble opinion.   ;-)

I don't like the "Bad Content" on Cable TV,
so to avoid access to the "Bad Content" I refuse to support
I'll do everything I can to aviod it..
Even though the US Congress has passes a Law that will
Eventually REMOVE Analog TV Broadcast over the air reqiring
all local TV Stations to eventually broadcast in Didgital ONLY
by 2007.. making your Analog TV useless unless you have a
Didgital to Analoge Converter box that Cable Companies provide.

Hmmm... So lets see what I can do to lessen my
exposure to Bad Content?

I'll sale my Car, because "the Automotive Industry"
are the Major advertisers on many of the Bad Content TV programs,

I'll just walk every where I need to go, because the
Cheese eating "Surrender Monkey" French people "Tour De France"
are a major sponsor of Bike Riding, that the French culture incorages
"La More" Free Love and "al'naturale" Nudity, so I'll not buy a bike
to I don't want to help the Auto industry and French people maintain
their life style, so I'll walk every where I go..

I'll just stay home wand watch the four walls and Smell the Roses..

I can't walk to the Grocery store..

Because They (the Grocery Stores) have lots of
Bad Content Magazine at every Checkout counter..

So If You Buy any food at the Grocery Stores that display
all those Bad Content Magazines, I'll be be maintaining the
Grocery Stores abibilty to stay in business and thus
be able to sale all that Bad Content Magazines..

So I'll avoid all Grocery Stores and all walmarts Stores too..

I can't read the News papers either, they contain a
lot of of Advertising for Bad Content also,
especially the Sunday paper..

I've carried this argument to an Extreme,
But maybe you see what I mean..

Life is to short to sweat the Small stuff..

if you got Cable, most TV's and Cable Converter Boxes
provide Parental Control options that let you BLOCK OUT
Most of the Chanels that have objectional content,
and even the ability to "Block out" Time of Day broadcast
so that certain programs can't be viewed..

"There is more than one way to Skin a Cat"

Have a Nice Day...
