...many times parents are falsely accused, and their children taken away or one parent is forced to leave. DSS has the authority and power to tear families apart. Many times official charges are not brought against the accused parents. These children are placed into foster care. DSS controls the family unit by dictating to parents when and how often they can see their children. Once a parent is accused of child abuse, all disciplinary rights are taken away. Parents have little choice but to agree with what DSS dictates. DSS claims that if parents are unable to control a problem...

DSS also offers 50 pay-per-view movie channels, with a selection of films repeated continuously at half-hour intervals so viewers can see them at virtually any time they wish...
Media analysts forecast that the industry will pick up 8 million to 10 million customers by the year 2000. Early sales reports from DSS's initial campaign have been encouraging: according to the backers, dishes have sold out in the 41 states where they have been marketed, and 28% of the early buyers are cable subscribers. (Only 12% retained their cable after getting a dish.) Still, many industry observers are cautious. Tom Wolzien, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., a New York City investment firm, predicts that dbs might steal away 1% of cable's growth over the next...
