Digital TV Update

   Posted by: admin    in Straight Talk

This week the whole digital television transition was delayed. While I understand to some degree why the government voted to delay the transition I cant help but think why a mere 5 million people out of a country of 134 million have the power to delay a multimillion dollar transition project. Whats more the amount of time, money and energy being thrown behind the move to get the delay approved could be better used to debate more pertinent issues such as health care or energy.

Here is a question, how much tax payer money has been used to push through the changed bill?

How much money is it going to cost the television stations to delay their transition?

Would it not have been better to use that money to provide coupons to the some 3 million of the 5 million people waiting for the coupon?

I also have to wonder how many of those same people, who are so desperate to have TV, would go out and spend the $50 to get the converter box, and when the government has the funds available again use their receipt to claim a refund.

While some people have procrastinated, some cannot afford to purchase the DTV boxes the transition has been broadcast for over 2 years now. For goodness sake lets move on.

Reality Check : Those who want will keep up those that done will get left behind. Hey there is always the library. Wow what a unique concept maybe read a book, take a walk, start a hobbie, there is more to life than sitting behind a television screen watching the world go by.

Moral concience

Moral Conscience

Following on from yesterdays blog, I have a question relating to our moral conscience. If we in this media generation have spent more time in front of television and being fed a version of reality which often times does not line up with experience. How much can we trust our moral conscience when the majority of young people don’t believe in any absolutes. If truth is relative to the believer then how can I trust that my neighbor, politician or any leader has our best interest at heart.

The courts don’t define truth they just interpret it based on the facts or lack of facts. The worship of man and his intellect has led us down a path of moral decay. Our moral conscious cannot be trusted unless it is based on a universal truth that is greater than us or our interpretation of it. Corporately we now value the life of seals or dogs more than the life of our fellow man. We throw tons of money into environmental causes yet we let our neighbor struggle to feed his starving family. We abort thousands of babies a day yet do not shed a tear, but tear men apart as inhumane for killing an animal.

Man and his material needs will never give us the moral compass we need. Only God.

The American system of government was founded by men with a high regard for the divine. The bible says

“For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King; it is He who will save us” (Isaiah 33:22). Do you see the three branches of the perfect government ruled by God. The legislative, judicial and executive form of human government is intended to be a reflection of the divine and as such have its sources directly connected to the divine in order for it to be effective.

For America to work as she was designed she needs to corporately connect back to the creator and his truth. Then she will once again rise in prosperity under the mighty hand of the Almighty.

Reality Check : If people believe that voting their moral conscience will work then make sure your moral conscience is connected and trained by the divine creator and not by the intellect of man.
