Digital TV isn’t national priority
Instead of a chicken in every pot, we will now have high-definition TV in every living room. (“Feds aid viewers’ move to digital,” Dec. 31.)
I resent the government telling me that I must purchase a new TV to comply with an outrageously intrusive bit of legislation. I can’t help but think that Big Brother will have easier access to my home by this mandate.
We proclaim ourselves the richest nation on Earth, yet we have the highest rate of infant mortality, the worst education system, the worst healthcare system, no social safety net; but, by golly, we have digital TV.
Someone please tell me if the lunatics are not running the asylum.
