Try entering your stores electronics departments and you may find digital SD TV's for sale. Advertising and most online retail won't carry them because they get a higher margin and revenue on HDTV's. The bigger name companies still make the SD TV's, they just brand them with their subsidiaries and or/partners and keep their own names on their HDTV's. |
The SDTV's are increasingly a fraction of the TV's in the store. They are shuffled off to the less prime shelf space and treated like dirt, especially the CRT's. The LCD non-HDTV's are treated somewhat better.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
