I want to choose which networks appear on my television.
And I just sent that message to congress from here

It would be great if others would do the same.
What if your cable subscription was like a menu. You could choose which
networks you want. There would be no package that includes 30 channels
that you find obnoxious. No more would you have to support all this
product that you wish would simply go away.
If we want - we should be able to NOT support Fox News or CNN.
We should be able to replace them with Current TV or something more
informative. We should be able to try something new and we should have
a real choice.
As it is now - no cable network offers a la carte programming.
This is NOT a free market. It means that we are in the grip of
Corporate controlled media. We have no choice, no power.
We cannot say NO to the corporate media unless we want to go
entirely without.
That means that the corporate media is not subject to the
magical forces of the marketplace that produce progress and greatness,
according to our conservative friends.
This is degrading our culture, dumbing down the people, making us
all powerless and driving us crazy.
We must be allowed to say NO to the lies, ommissions, half truths,
propaganda and triviality that is being protected by the insipid
corporatocracy.
I want the democrats to fight for a la carte cable TV, meanwhile,
I may forego the tube altogether until the broadcast market is a
free market. Currently, what we have is mind control.
