I canceled my cable today....i feel a little better
I need small victories b/c I am so freakin depressed. This election will cause me to become a more involved activist. I will start boycotting certain products, stop hanging around certain people, and look for a progressive place to live. I am not ready to leave the country yet but the thought has crossed my mind. If anyone has a link to a list of products to boycott, please share.

When I called my cable company I asked them the following rhetorical questions.

Q What channel is CSPAN on? A You don't have CSPAN
Q How much do I pay a month for services? A $45
Q How many channels show NASCAR events? A 5
Q How many country music channels? A 3
Q How many fox channels? A 4
Q How many religious networks? A 2

The US is being brainwashed on a daily basis and I will not support the media whores anymore. NBC and Fox called Ohio way too early. I will stick to newspapers online and AAR. Any other suggestions on how to stick it to them is appreciated.

God bless everyone on this site. May we stick together and keep our sanity.
