PUBLIC TELEVISION also was a target for Republican theory
CABLE TELEVISION with it's promise of no commercails was attractive to many
We happily switched to cable with it's non commercail promise.
But when the commercails came we tried to go back to PUBLIC TELEVISION

It has been destroyed beyond recognition
By a Republican theory that affected
Philadelphia AND Pennsylvania
AND America
