If tomorrow the Government suddenly did something that made your car
obsolete and unable to run, would you want them to cover the cost of a
replacement?

Huh. The government hasn't caused any of my televisions to become
obsolete and unable to run. They run just fine. Just as good as they did
a year ago. Two years ago. In fact, all of my televisions work BETTER
than they did two years ago, with the same indoor antennas I used
before. No more snow. No more ghosts. No more changing the antenna
position for each station. No more trying in vain when the wind blows to
get any kind of watchable picture on the FOX and MyNetwork stations. No
more wishing I could watch the one CW program I like, because now I can
watch it, perfectly.

Thank you, US Government. Had you not mandated the change to digital, it
would have taken me a lot longer to see the light. I would have spent
years thinking my analog stuff was working "just fine."

Keep those blinders firmly in place, now. You'd be lost without them.

Apparently, his mind can't grasp the concept that somebody's reception
might actually *improve* with digital. It tears his tight little world
all apart.

He's also shattered by the idea that someone of my political persuasion
could get something to work without calling on someone of *his*
persuasion to "fix" it - especially when *he* can't seem to "fix" it for
anybody else.

In my world, politics has little to do with the functionality of digital
TV. In his, it has everything to do with it. So sad.
