Britain is quite an interesting place.
did you know that British public television does not have fundraising marathons?
its true. do you know why?
everyone pays for public television. the cost to fund it: 35 pence per day.
i think that is one of the most brilliant concepts ever! the cost is just part of your taxes.
imagine what could happen if the US funded public television in this same way! no more telethons (at least not interrupting our public television programming to raise money to bring us said programming). public television would have far more money and more folks would tune in because, hey, they paid for it.
but we would never do something so brilliant as this... socialism is just not Right.
pence = cents
