[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 2883109, member: 562352"] Here is where I am getting that you implied that the costs of gas is increacing. How so? How would you like to define increase? Since energy is a commodity it's price changes based on supply and demand in an open market, where you or I can influence the price of energy. No matter how large of cable package I buy, I cannot influence the price of cable. Also, are you suggesting that new formulations of gasoline, coal processing, and renewable resources have not changed? First, we must define the benefit of energy. Is it simply to power homes, cars, etc. If so, the gasoline we use now is more effective and cleaner burning than gasoline of the past due to reformulations and refining effeciencies. Do you have other suggestions as what a benefit is and can explain how benefits of energy are not the same. It is possible that we have different definitions. I always try to gain the other person's point of view, and then discuss the issue from there. As for the benefits of cable television. I am assuming that the benefit of subscribing to cable television is entertainment. If you agree, are you saying that the entertainment is better, then that is too subjective. If you say the benefit of cable is communication. Then I would agree. In the past 20 years, cable TV has done quite a bit in creating a network of "informed" peoples. The introduction of cable and internet to rural areas is a great benefit to society. As for "reformulations" of cable such as HDTV and digital cable. What are the metrics for defining improvement. If we reformulate gasoline, we can see if a car increases its MPG. If you use picture quality as a metric, then it is problematic. I cannot tell the difference between over-the-air TV and HDTV in 1080. I have a form of color-blindness where like colors mix together. A real benefit cable could offer me is an option to present its channels in black and white so I could see them better. Just let me know your definitions. [/QUOTE]
