I suspect that more than 100 people have requested indoor pools and performing arts center in the annual surveys. How dare TV not make them available right here in America, even though people want those choices.

Oh wait, America has free enterprise too. So a hundred of us can't just demand that a business proprietor contract with distributors as necessary to give us all the choices we want. And if said business proprietor has negotiated an affordable deal with other distributors by agreeing to show all of their movies, or has negotiated other affordable (to him) terms we don't like, we can't demand that said entrepreneur break his contract and possibly his profit margin because one group organized a phone bank to demand other choices at his expense.

Darn, don't you just hate it when freedom cuts both ways.
Insightful. Damn near profound.
