This site is proof plenty of how everyone who wants to express and opinion has an outlet. They may recieve some abuse at the hands of those who disagree( Oh...the humanity! )but no one can deny that there are formats which allow feedback. And with talk radio, the same avenue exists. I have heard hosts cut people off who were rude, unprepared to make a point or came across as just plain stupid. If I want to call and disagree, I can. I'd better make sure that what I'm saying is A) accurate B) clear and concise and C) logical. As long as that's the case, no worries. So why does anyone even think there is a need? Because they can't make a compelling argument, don't have the sense or cojones to, or they're just plain stupid. And BTW, there was an article last fall regarding Senator Jim Miller(D)California, who referenced a paper written by a college professor making the case for Federal control of private retirement accounts. I read it and will have to find it on my links. It was scary. It hopefully never gets traction but this is America, we know what happens when crazy lefties or crazy righies get control.

This is just like Atlas Shrugged! Let's hope Ayn Rand's depiction of the world after nationalization will not come to pass or I might just have to go on strike.

If this woman wants to set aside a share of the airwaves for non-profits, then she can pick a part of the spectrum that's not being used and let the non-profits broadcast using their own equipment and money.

I suspect, however, she's more inclined to require broadcasters, as a condition of their license, to set aside time using the broadcaster's money snd equipment for non-profits to use without compensation. The amount of time will gradually increase and the required hours will begin to encroach on prime-time.

When this eventually causes the broadcaster to lose money (thus not making a profit), will she then require any remaining broadcasters that are making a profit set aside time for the now (involuntary) non-profit broadcaster? Or will she simply nationalize the now profitless broadcaster?

Isn't this just like the liberals wanting curtain talk show hosts taken off the air for thirty days before the election. Call the FCC QUICK.

AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER!

Isnt this similar to the Super Bowl when repubs went nuts cause their kids saw a nipple? Call the FCC QUICK

I've seriously considered selling my 401(k) and swallowing the 10% penalty because I have little confidence that the government will honor its side of the deal with this account. It seems to me that it would be wise to cash out and take 60% now than to deal with threat of windfall taxes and complete nationalization of these accounts because certainly sometime within the next 31 years some socialist will attack these accounts.
