Super Bowl commericals

Well tomorrow is the big game that everyone is going to be watching. While everyone knows that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing the Arizona Cardinals, most people will be watching for the famed Super Bowl commercials. The United States along with most of the rest of the world is in the middle of an economic rescission. Its time like these in which people should bond and share the burden together. However, that is not to be the case in most business circles. The average 30 second slot this year will cost businesses 3 million dollars, the most ever. Its greedy television studios like this that make me feel squeamish because all they care about is money. We should take times like these to focus on the basics and what is truly important in life like friends, family, and just getting by.

The change to digital

Many people are aware of the upcoming change to digital for televisions in the U.S. on February 17, 2009. Well just the other day the senate passed a bill that could delay this change until June of this year for those who have not made the necessary changes to their televisions. This bill still needs the approval of the house who will vote on it sometime next week. My problem is that the average age in the senate is 62 years old. How are people that are of that age suppose to be making choices for the younger generation when most of them don't understand the technology that is constantly being developed today. Why should we push back the digital change when people have know about this change for over 5 years. Yes, their are people out their that haven't changed their televisions, about 6 million or so. However, that should be the problem for those who did the right thing. Those people have had over 5 years to take care of this problem. Why should the Americans who pay attention in this country have to suffer when others don't jump on the bandwagon. I might be tooting my horn a little loud, but I think that if we as a nation are willing to succumb to little details like this how are we as a nation suppose to lay down the bigger details.
