At no point in the history of entertainment would it be as easy for the members of the WGA to strike out on their own, rather than just go on strike.

They actually have an opportunity to remake the industry here, but it's not by going on strike it is by starting their own production companies.

The technology is there and I'm sure the money can be found (sympathetic rich actors). So why not just leave and start their own firms?

p>Maybe they are secretly concerned that the value of what they produce isn't as high as they think it is. Nah, everything on TV is Pure Gold. br> -- Jeff br> Astoria, New York /p>

"Without Writers Guild members, we would have bad jokes, crap movies, and an endless output of reality television," Tim Robbins.
