[Rhodes22-list] Re: Commitment to war

[brad haslett]

Stan, 

Phillip's views agree with mine.  There may have been
a need for PBS when there we had only 3 TV networks,
but with all the cable, do we really need one more? 
However, in all fairness, your point about all the
other "pigs at the trough" is well taken.  My favorite
is farming and for entertainment I use this site to
see who the biggest pigs are.

Now as to faith based groups, yeah, go after them.  I
suggest we start with Jesse Jackson.

Brad
