Subject: Digital-to-Analog Coupon comments...

Just a few thoughts here:

1. Since when did TV (of any form) become a government subsudized right
instead of a priviledge in this country? Last time I checked you could run
down to your local Worst Buy and get a digital TV for less than $300.
That's roughly 3 times more than what these coupons would allow for - I have
to personally think that if you can't afford even a modest digital TV that
maybe you shouldn'nt be spending so much time in front of an analog TV
(sorry, a bit hard nose I know).

2. With all of our federal budget issues, do we really need to be spending
$1,500,000,000 on a non-essential communication protocol? Where else can we
realistically use that money? Education? Healthcare reform? Social Security
reform? The list is rather long.
Just my two cents...
