Regarding this, as an independent little peon I'm doing the only things I can do: I don't watch their programming, I don't attend their functions, and I don't buy any of their crap. Even when programs I do like tangent off into the sports politics garbage I switch stations or shut it off and find something else to do with what's left of my time here on earth.

Nice article, LibertyPen. Thanks for posting it in the Gulch.
