The way we use the public airwaves today is a disgrace. The public airwaves should never have been given over to commercial interests. The whole television establishment should be carpet bombed from end to end and we should start over.
State governments are wracking their brains trying to figure out how to efficiently educate our children and we're throwing away the public airwaves on tripe. Think of what could be done if the ratio of educational programming versus entertainment programming were reversed. By educational I don't mean Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures and crap like that, I mean real courses of study, grade school to university level. so that the intellectual wellspring of education can be available to as many as possible in the most efficient way possible. That would be television worth paying for.
