I agree with you... We disconnected cable and Satelite and now we just pick up network TV... we havent missed having all those channels with nothing to watch. I dont know why people are so surprised when their kids do the stuff they see on TV every day.

The govt... wow I think the experiment might be coming to an end soon. The leaders we elect do little else but campaign for the next election. Everything is about an election cycle. There is no accountability anymore. I wonder if this country might go the way of the Romans at some time in the next 100 years.
