The Writer's Strike

This is starting to make me very angry. The fact that this has been dragging for almost three months is remarkable. What are they fighting for? Is it artistic freedom? or money? It's sad because the writers are looking more like selfish and shortsighted morons. Each day that this strike continues more of the lower paid employees of television shows and film crews are out of work. There are more of those people than pathetic writers. More importantly, the viewers including myself are sick and tired of "American Gladiators," "Deal or No Deal," and other reality shows. I want a full season of 24 and Lost. While I understand that writers deserve more credit for their work (and it always irks me when the credits say "A Film By" and then list the director when the writer is probably more deserving of that credit), but writers must look at the bigger picture and realize their image will never be the same the longer this drags on. Look what happened to baseball...
