1. Most would probably go for the cable, the putzes
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know whatcha got till it's gone?

3. Free cable for life - definitely.
I expect they'd rather sit in front of the TV and could care less about being able to speak freely. Sad.

5. Cable, hands down.
The don't give a shit about the wholesale destruction of their Constitutional rights that's been happening while they've been watching Survivor and worrying about Natalee Holloway.

7. what's the connection between the two? The right wing is protecting
cable industry so we pay more than they do in Europe.
