  1. You have a library in your town/county? Neat. I thought those were a thing of the past in New York. I have to pay about 10x as much (since I'm not in that district) for a membership and then drive about 30 miles to get to the nearest one. Again, not everyone lives in a large town or city.

    punch in 12428 here: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ and let me know if you get any channels... If you do, then the universal alignment is 2.5 years early and you fell into another dimension..

    You can also get a roku device. It does Netflix, Amazon, and a few others. It has a bunch of free channels as well. It only costs about $100 and can use a wireless connection. I bought one for my parents and they love it.

    Personally I could couldn't care less about sports, but I know quite a few people that enjoy it in the privacy of their home, away from the noise of a bar. Besides, not all of us live in major towns and cities where there are bars everywhere.

    Unfortunately for the sports lovers out there, you still kinda have to have some TV service. You can always pirate the games afterwards, however what's the joy of watching a game after its already ended? At that point you may as well just watch one of those couple of minute summaries they have. Also, no everyone can get more than a channel or two with even a roof antenna since the digital conversion.

    I'm sure this is just one of the items on the roadmap of those pushing for the NWO. Certain things need to be in place before North America starts using the 'Amero' currency.

    Actually, his investors pulled out, bankrupting him when they realized it was impossible to meter such wireless power. I have no doubt that if they continued, the world would be much different today.

    Everything in the sky is a UFO until its identified. Some are never identified, thus they remain UFO's. The connection between UFO's and alien craft needs to be severed.

    Actually, the high school in my district has a class that teaches myths and legends. It just so happens that they go over Bigfoot, UFO's, Fairies, ghosts, etc. interesting class. Its taught as "this is what has been recorded in stories and lore in the past, whether its true or not is not in question".
