I agree with you wholeheartedly, Power.
I went to a seminar this past weekend and one of the speakers, Marshall Sylvel, said that he was at one time deep in debt. That is when he decided cut off his cable.
He asked the audience to raise their hands if they had cable television. Most everyone raised their hands. He then told the audience that we could not afford cable unless we were millionaires. He did not mean that we could not afford the cable bill, he meant that we could not afford to waist those hours in the evening when we could be busy being successful.
I haven't had cable in over 2 years.
