Turning Off Television, Turning Off Corporate Corruption and Crime

I HAVEN'T HAD A TELEVISION for five years, a bit out of TV touch. Did they ever find out who killed J.R.? Did Captain Kirk ever find the right woman? I don't have a smart phone either, for all the right reasons. I read, write, and listen to radio. I sometimes consider rabbit ears, but never pull the trigger. Ho hum. News and sports twenty four seven is not necessary for me, sitting on the couch, endlessly clicking. A little NPR (National Public Radio) for news, and ESPN radio for sports is good enough. Its easier to read and think while listening to the radio. I'll take anything for free, but why pay for something you don't want or need? And why support billionaire corporations and their corruption? Everything going on in the realm of television, telephones, computers, and politics is fine, just fine, according to God's plan. A storm, exhausting itself. The option of opting out of this or that wonderful new social media trend is viable, under the proper conditions. If several million of us would cut off our television and telephone services simultaneously, we might possibly experience, soon thereafter, a reduction of price and improvement of quality of these consumer products. Now we have the great Comcast scandal, another giant monopolistic corporation misbehaving, providing services and charging for them without customer consent. Yet another reason to disconnect one's cable, and listen to NPR. The Comcast scandal is similar to the great Wells Fargo rip off; take advantage of lack of consumer and government vigilance to make money deceitfully, for the good of the corporation, the greed, and the American way. How much corporate crime must be exposed before conservatives endorse reasonable government regulation of the economy? No, not every government regulation is bad for business, or stifles growth. Most government regulation enhances growth by preventing capitalism from destroying itself, all growth, and along with it, the country.........PLEASE VOTE SOON. THANKS!
