I think the seat belt law is what actually set me off on this emotion.  |
Seat belt laws save lives. Fact is when some dumb motherfucker doesn't wear a seat belt adn gets inot an accident MY insurance goes up and if he's poor he gets the government to pay for his medical which means ME. Now if you are willing to pay my car insurance premiums and part of my income taxes them I'll be all for getting rid of seat belt laws.
I'm not sure why anyone is even complaining about this? This is good for everyone. Tv stations really aren't out any money because they were upgrading to HD anyways and it's cheaper to send SD signals digitally than it is to send them with analog and then also send out HD signals.
This law actually save Tv stations money because without it they would have been forced to send out SD signals in both analog and digital format so customers that insist on to holding onto their 20 year old TVs can watch their station.
