fun debate mr. sinatra.

I'm not saying that we should simply exempt NPR and PBS from their lack
of fiscal responsibility but I am advocating that there are larger
drains on the taxpayers and perhaps our attention should be placed on
more pressing matters first.

One very dangerous aspect of what you're pushing is the notion of
letting the marketplace dictate what programs make it to our little
music boxes and tv's. You say Rush Limbaugh is admirable because he
makes lots of money for himself, his radio network and all the while not
taking a dollar from the taxpayers. that's all true. But what do we the
public receive? that's a matter of personal preference of course. 

I think you can debate whether someone like Rush raises the bar on
public discourse. and it speaks to what we as a nation feel is important
in our culture. If you feel that it's healthy to have wall to wall
commercial programming then so be it. i feel differently  and i guess
the only way to affect change is make your voice heard through the
political process.

best of luck to you on getting NPR/PBS off the taxpayers teat.
