You have way too much confidence in the American public

If the "little people" didn't get the message no big loss

Why should the government bend over backwards for every single inhabitant? The US gov't has a terrible habit of trying to cover for everybody. Actually, American society is like that in many ways.........no "personal responsibility".

What I would have done if this affected me: Say back in September I hear about the switch to DTV. "Oh, I should probably start looking for one of those converter boxes or a newer TV unit. I don't want to wait until the last minute until those vouchers run out. This way I'll be prepared in Feburary 2009 for the switch."

One does not need to graduate with a degree from a 4-year University to know that.
