Could you imagine if Americans only had two television stations?
The sad thing Esayem is that when you look at corporate contributions you find that many in each party are backed by the same corporations so we really don't have a 2 party system either.
An old governor I knew told me way back in the 70's that the two party system was like the Kentucky Derby only having two horses entered for the race, but both owned by the same stable, and that stable could be called corporate business as usual.
And to Bullet, I grew up with 2 good channels on TV as well. We were excited when a third one would come in on a weather day due to the skip in signal off of the low clouds. And it was all in Black and White. But like Crocodile Dundee today when I turn it on I see the same stuff. Heck Petticoat Junction was on the other night along with Rat Patrol, 12 o'clock High, and Combat. Victory at Sea sometimes lulls me to sleep late at night and World at War is always on somewhere, and that's on channels that actually show something beside infomercials. If it's movies my wife and I say them long ago.
As to this thread BLM has dubious backing and an alien agenda. George Floyd is a good cause as that was the most egregious abuse I've ever witnessed. Falwell is a a jerk, and that isn't part of a Christian's conduct, Freeze is a dubious choice for a Head Coach at Liberty, and who can know the true motives of 18-20 year olds.
But hash it out where you are freer to cut loose without being in violation!
I'm moving this to the Spin Room boards because it is way too political for the CS/CR room.
