CANCEL YOUR CABLE TV

Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 09:35 PM by Proud2BAmurkin

and tell them why.

Cable news channels gave the Swift Boat Scumbags hours and hours of free air time. If that's not enough of a reason for you then welcome to a lifetime of November 2's.

7. It's been on my mind lately.

I think I'd do it if it weren't for my husband wanting ESPN, ESPN II, & FOX Sports network.

8. Already done ...

I pay yearly to save a month's charge. It was due the first of this month and, for the same reasons you stated, was Too furious to renew. Didn't tell them why though. Wish I would have.

9. I have been trying to push for a boycott of advertisers

on the cable news networks. Haven't had a lot of DU interest. I am thinking something like Sinclair, but on a more massive scale

10. Axe the TV. It's all corporate mindbending pixelated drugging.

I went to a reading and radio only mode of input years ago and my mind is my own 24/7.

Looked at TV a coupla times at someone else's place and every one second image cluttered my brain for a week.

You may THINK you are immune but it has a PHYSICAL effect that which you have no defense from.
