 Yes, this continues to be the land of the free, where even morons can spew their free will. The problem is when the rights of these ungrateful asses infringe upon others, specifically those who fought and died for us and them.
I am referring to the Westboro Baptist Church. These are people who get thrills out of protesting at the funerals of dead soldiers, those who died serving our country. They are more than welcome to get the hell out of the U.S. and go where they feel more comfortable. Obviously they won’t put their lives on the line for this country… |
 The Middle East is known for many things, but currently two stand out: Centuries of bloddy battles and the fall of empires. The two seem to go quite well together, as war after bloody war drains populations, economies and livelihoods.
History has shown that, while the rest of the world attempts to become civilized, the Middle East (as well as Africa now) continues to live in contempt with their nieghbors and the world. These very nations have also wrought havoc on nations that have become involved in their disputes, including the Soviet Union. Think of the desserts as quicksand, pulling those who enter in, eventually to their demise. Now the western empire is in the quicksand. It’s not just the U.S., though President Bush is the major pushing force. The world that has pushed and created the civilized world is now battling the very region that has bathed its own children in blood since documented history. How is cancer treated? Generally adding to the cancer is not an option. In this case it tends to be contagious. |
 The cable industries hand may be forced by the FCC’s Further Report, which would require television content providers to allow consumers to select the channels they want to see, rather than pay for a bundle of channels.
With todays automated computer systems this should not be difficult. It would be very possible to select and pay for the channels you want through a web page on the Internet. So why are the cable providers and individual channels upset? Cable companies will incur fees for channels they offer but people don’t want. They would rather just push it on to consumers. Thus it becomes more costly for them. And smaller channels would simply disappear due to lack of popularity, like you needed the book channel, or all of those religious channels. Companies, like cable or the recording industries, don’t control us. We pay them for the services, and they need to start accounting for their consumers opinions. |
