I think everyone has valid points. I think things at the government level has gone arry (spelling). The govern= ment was set up to be "We the people". What has gone wrong? If the majori= ty of the people say they don't want to buy a new TV, they shouldn't be for= ced by anyone, especially the government, to buy a new TV because of new te= chnology. I think new technology is great but you should have a choice if = you want to take advantage of it or just go along with what you like or can= afford. This should be a choice not a demand. It should never be turned = into a hardship.
