A rant about DTV

The "D" standing for Digital this time instead of "Disney". If you're asking about the DTV Valentine's Day special, NO, I don't have it any more, so quit asking for it. If I ever get a new VHS-to-DVD converter machine, I will let you know.
Now, to the aforementioned rant. Apparently, I must be the only one in the world that thinks analog television is fine. The picture quality is fine with me. Call me Mr. Slowsky, but it's true. And I like to watch various channels coming in from my weak indoor antenna set. I still draw televisions with "rabbit ears" to distinguish to the reader that they are TV sets (does the TV set on "The Simpsons" still have rabbit ears?), but with this push to digital TV, I really need to get with the times in terms of drawing television sets.
And also in terms of watching television sets. I'd still like to watch KWVT, as well as what used to be K61CC (which moved to channel 21.), and in order to do that, I need a DTV Converter Box. The problem is not the cost (I can afford the $50-70), it's just the fact that I don't WANT to, and I shouldn't need to. Stupid Congress and their pushing laws that affect poor people like this into law. They can do this and not outlaw cigarettes? Come on, doesn't Congress have more important things to do, like, oh, I don't know, catching Osama bin Laden, stopping terrorism, y'know, stuff like that? Does it really matter what method of TV I'm watching as nuclear bombs from North Korea are raining down on me?
Anyway, as the ol' Bob Dylan song goes, the times, they are a'changin', and Bob Dylan has more than enough money to have whatever TV type he wants.
