[Rhodes22-list] Public Radio and TV

[stan]

Agree with you again.  I am a super liberal and they want us to pay.  If 
evangelistic congress folk want other countries to be just like the US so 
badly, let them cough up their own dough for their forced feeding and stop 
stealing the surplus we had and taxes that could be better spent.  For years 
I have been preaching:  Make this country a paradise and the rest of the 
world will follow.  Mess up what we had going here and you see what the rest 
of the world is starting to think about us.
