    not purchase cable TV at all.

    My cable TV bill is exactly $0
    my Satilite TV bill is exactly $0
    my Digital TV bill is exactly $0

    TV sucks, it sucks you in you spend half an hour looking for something to watch then you find something that is half over. and at the end you foten look for something else to watch till your favorite program comes on in an hour or so.

    I get my news from the Inet.
    I get my sports from the local bar.
    When I feel I need passive entertainment I walk a block down to the local video store rent a movie and pop it in.

    The movie cost $2.00 Canadian, and I feel the need for that about once a week $9 a month is quit a savings over cable. and the most important thing about it is that it comes to an END.

    there is no endlessly surfing for "something to watch" when its over I get to do something else usefull....

    dude, Capatitalism is fundimentally Immoral.

    this has nothing to do hiring people over seas.

    there is nothing wrong with giving people jobs and money.

    But the modivation behind capitalism is to get what ever you can at any cost to other people. including explotation, and destruction of the environment.

    so yah doing somethign for the greater good of the human race is a good Idea. Doing something that helps you and only you at the expence of others, is bad!!
