Do you still have cable?

Have I ever? Oh, there was that year that I shared that in-town apartment with some classmates while attending college and one of my two roommates paid for cable service, since neither of the other two of us cared for it.

No, besides that, I never did have cable. I grew up with basic broadcast television with 4 or 5 channels--depending on the direction the wind was blowing--on the one set down in the family room which only really came on for Saturday morning cartoons and the weather report while dinner was being cooked. When I moved away, I did without television for the most part.

To be honest, I don't think I've even seen more than a couple hours (total!) of anything on a television set in the past five years, since I don't keep a set in the house. Now I have watched some old program episodes online to waste some time every so often. If they weren't available by some free uploads, I wouldn't have bothered with those, either, though. There's no way I'd pay for it. I can't help but see all the propaganda constantly being hurled at me whenever I do see anything playing, so the experience is not a fun one for me.
