Reply #56: Sorry..for starters I would have no tv reception w/o cable.. [View All]

because of my building doesn't receive the broadcast stations well.
Secondly, being able to watch every NY Yankee game, one of my few current pleasures in life , is not something I'm willing to give up for a boycott which will affect nothing. I'm home a lot, and high speed internet connection is my personal connection to the outside world. If DU's 50k+ members spread across states and a few other countries all gave up their cable TV accounts with multiple companies, I don't think it would be an impact for change.They probably lose more customers than that each year for non-payment of bills,

And I don't accept that the pablum for the masses routine affects every subscriber. I watch almost no TV news these days and I trust that I'm smart enough to recognize propaganda when I see it.

How are you connecting to the net to post here? If it's by dial-up or DSL, are you sure that your phone company is as pure as you want it to be? If not, why are you even on-line?
