The citizens of the UK have an option also. If they don't like
supporting the BBC programming, don't buy a TV. Only those who use the
service have to pay for it. If you don't own a TV, then you aren't
taxed. Personally I hate all the commercials that are the funding
method for TV in the U.S. I'd gladly exchange our funding method for
the U.K method, if it meant we would get better quality programming
and far fewer commercials that insult my inteligence.
