You brought up a horrible possibility. If Dish gets Direct, the only advantage will be more money in the stockholders pockets. Both networks broadcast the same content and charge within a few dollers of the same price.
The big disadvantage will be a hell of a lot of employees laid off.
Three years ago I built a handicaped ramp to our kitchen door because my handicaped mother in law was to much for me to lift up the stairs. After she passed away I started to tear it out as it is a pretty amaturish job. My wife stopped me as she found the ramp quite usefull. Indeed it is. Now if we can just get a decent and easy way of controling font size in all the Linux GUIs. I believe that would be very usefull also.
My funny bone gets just plain tickled by the children flinging names like Liberals and Conservatives around like spitballs when faced with a problem they can't understand or face.
Being handicaped is something all of us will face eventually unless we exit this earth before our normal schedule of age related death.
Accessability is somthing you will deride because by it's very nature youth is ignorance personified.
Ignorance has little to do with being an Idiot, average or genius. The way out of ignorance is observance and experience. To ignore either of these requirements dooms one to perpetual ignorance.
