Please don't take this wrong, but most American libs are not as familiar
with computers as we are. Most libs in the U.S. don't have their own
computers.
Of those that do, I'm not so sure most know how to download MP3 files. I
don't. I'm sure I could learn but I could care less about it. I do, however,
listen to a LOT of radio. Most libs I'm sure can't afford or won't pay for
satellite radio. But I'll bet almost all libs own a radio.
Of the libs I know, I'd say about 30% are seniors. I can't think of one lib
senior that downloads MP3s, has a blog, or even knows what a message board
is. About 20% of the libs I know, are black. Of them, I know one that has a
computer, but even she doesn't do any MP3 downloading. They do, however,
listen to a lot of radio. Some libs I know are Hispanic. A lot of the
Hispanics I know have computers, but only a couple download MP3s, and only for
music
listening, not to keep up with news. Focusing only the MP3 problem of Air
America, when the broadcasting part of Air America is having financial
problems, is like focusing on someone's toe blister, while ignoring that the
person's
legs are broken.
We need lib radio stations, with or without MP3s. Places anyone can turn
to on the dial and listen to the truth behind this sick, malevolent
administration.
Thanks.
