They might be snake worshipers and such but having or not having cable would not effect them much. The thing to ask is whether they have TV at all, forget cable.
My main point is these religious 'cults' are in fact what is driving them nuts.
I live in the midwest and those cults ain't got me yet 🙂

it was just something we remembered about america. the trend nowadays that children are sensitive and fragile and that losing in a spelling contest will forever ruin their chances of developing into normal adults and so prizes for 20th place are given. the notion that you can sue anyone for anything, the notion that nobody's feelings should be hurt so creationism should be thought in schools as an alternative to a well established theory. the notion that years of racism and discrimination against blacks could be wiped clean by discrimination against whites through affirmative action and the requirement that all enterprises should have a percentage of ti employees from minorities even if a more qualified white person is banging on the firm door asking for a job. and so on.
america will wake up. it is just a matter of when and how far ahead will the china, EU and japan be then
