| Re: You want others to pay for your speech--why? said by marigolds :You do have that choice. That is how pass through fees work. No, I don't. It's a mandatory fee that I have to pay if I want cable--it's not an option that I can decline to pay. Maybe it is in Corvallis, but not here and not most places.

There are plenty of hoops to jump through, but in most cases you can get out of paying it. Sometimes you have to pay it but can get it refunded. That is true in nearly every city.
