AT&T U-verse 300

You may be aware of the Supreme Courts decision for cable;  The cable company owns the cable to your house, and you own the cable inside the house.  Im sure this is a most significant decision.  But you know that the cable companies are going to try and maintain control of the cable and what you do with the cable.

If the cable company controls the cable inside your house then they are in violation of the law, the spirit of the law and the word of the law.  Obviously this is about freedom of speech, this is a pretty big deal, I mean its even in the constitution.  So what happens when a company violates this law?  Do we send the FBI to arrest them, just the officers, or are the jobbers that do the installation, just as guilty?

I mean this is Freedom of Speech, surely the censuring of information is criminal.  I mean isnt that why we have congressional TV, senate TV, so those SOBs can be seen conducting our business.  You do know that these people conduct most of the government business outside the walls of congress and outside the eyes of TV?

You do know that censorship is the opposite of propaganda?  That speech has two components, what you say and what you hear.  You do know that listening precedes speech?  Hearing is the input sense and talking is the output sense.  Some people cant hear and so they are mute.

 Our founding fathers were a little short on knowledge of communication, and they were not prophets.  How were they to know that we would have radio and TV. How were they to know that we would have Internet, wifi, social messaging?

AT&T solicited me with their U-verse 300.  It came in a Bundle, to save me money, hell they connected three of my TVs.  Suddenly I could not use my DVD player because they went into the routers and blocked that .... virtually insuring that I watch their movies.   They blocked my Net Flicks, I cant use the red box.

Their programing sucks, I can see channel 4, but not the CW, and now they have more commercials.  I can see all the religious trash I want to see, except that Im not religious .... so about 16 channels are about religion.  I feel this violates my freedom of religion and beyond this it is extortion .... I have to pay for it.

You have to pay extra for HD, You have to pay extra for events, fights, sports, girl volleyball.  I could have sworn that all men and women were created equal.  So why can I see the guy sports but have to pay for the girl sports.  Didnt I hear something about Title 9.   They must have about 40 sports channels ... I call this the dumbing down of America.  

Where is the Attorney General, snoozing.  Where is the Supreme Court, snoozing.  Where is the congress, those SOBs are always on vacation.

Damn you AT&T U-verse ....you're pissing me off.   How say you America?
