"Why doenst McCain keep his nose our of private business..."

Here's why...because this industry has huge barriers to entry, and is therefore controlled by a small number of companies, who have gotten together and decided to force me to buy channels that I don't want.

When it comes to deciding between Coke or Pepsi, it's easy for me to vote with my wallet, because switching involves no inconvenience whatsoever. It's not that simple when it comes to things like TV. It's harder to switch than it is with soda, and hard to do without.

"More Government Invtervention Jim"

I'm not an anarchist, I don't view government intervention as always bad. In this case, government intervention will give us a little more freedom, and allow me to save a few bucks.
