Sorry, I disagree. Political analogies DO APPLY, when we are caught 
up in a huge mess that is being managed by politicians and 
bureaucrats.

Again, I see no need to apologize. My examples were not shrouded in 
the usual political debate. They were a simple statement of the 
FACTS, with all of the political rhetoric removed. My only regret is 
that it seems that the politicians (of both parties) are incapable of 
presenting us with the facts.

This is equally true of the DTV debate. The politicians relish their 
ability to play one industry off of the other. They could care less 
about facts. The only facts they are interested in are related to how 
they can keep this mess going as long as possible.

Innovation is being held hostage by the interplay of the politicians 
and the special interests who are footing the bill for the first $2 
billion election in U.S. history.
