The only DA I ever watched was the premeire, and the finale. I may have watched the second episode, but I can't remember for sure.

After discussing this topic with co-workers, friends, etc., it seems to follow classic liberal/conservie lines.
Liberal: Without us, u have nothing to sell. Scabs equal less margin.
Conservie: Quit whining writers. If you are willing to share the risk of cultivating and maintaining this business, sure here's your percentage.
Valid on both sides, however, u gotta lean towards the writers as a consumer. I don't care about some networks business plan. I want my shows man. 
EDIT: Physicians close to 62K a year? (u talkin PA, nurse, assistants and the like?) How close? 90% of my clients are medical in a 100K pop. city. Thats not close to the physicians I deal with. ...and comparing the work of Physicians to writers. Why? Glad ur not my boss. "Well, PD we're gonna have to cut ur salary since u haven't saved any lives this month. 
Writers bring joy, imagination, and inspiration to our minds, soothing us to a healthy mental well being.
Fulla-crap PDisall

That's not even really the studio position, it's the writers. They are willing to share in the risk, as the precentage structure they ask for gives them nothing if there is no profit. The studios are offering a flat nothing, in terms of the internet and new tech.

Yep. ur correct, I was just presenting overall Joe's take on this. Seen it on multiple forums and with peeps i've talked to.
EDIT :So, are u saying that this type of thinking is not why the networks aren't giving up the money? Is it just complete greed? There's another theme I've seen.
There is still risk if a show makes nothing. Networks lose the money spent, they are not asking writers to pay back if it fails right? That is the, no matter how wrong, the position I am talking about.

Don't tell me that writers aren't crucial to our society.

U'll never here me say this. I was being serious about what I said above. I had written the fulla statement before about the DR. thing.
I have actually used a similar analogy involving the extremists. If u are in the middle of a dessert with no nightly TV to watch and some guy telling tall tales of an Evil empire in the west. U may fall for it. Not to mention poor, possibly hungry, and less educated.

Heroes cliffhanger:
Pa Patrelli: "Peter, Nathan...."
Peter: *gulp* "Dad..."
Or is Adam their REAL father, thus the Claire/Adam connection. Like Noah, the father they thought they knew was a stand-in.
Mwuh aha ha aha ha ha ha ha
