Whatever the reason for the seat belts, it showed that the public was willing to "go along" with any somewhat plausible idea that the boys in DC said was good for us. /sarcasm/ /or not/ Think what TV could have been? Mr. Rogers or Muppets on steroids! Hell, Bill Nye himself could have prevented our huge science gap. Educated consumers? Informed electorate? A BS proof society? Ok, so we can not save the TV, but if the admins, or at least a huge bunch of them got together (they could use the interwebs) and could decide when enough is enough and agree when to pull the plug......... Just kidding friends, go back to watching your reality on TV. It all started when we let the government put seat belts in our cars.

No movies to download, but freedom is better than entertainment. The public have become like zombies on this issue. Nothing can wake them from the dead. A dialup BBS can fly under the radar.

If there is I would be glad to listen and do my part. I find the saddest part about it that although all of us realize its happening there is not much we can do.
