I do wonder why Ziggy’s writers are always ragging on PBS.
They are the last PUBLICALLY SPONSORED broadcasting service with a ‘public service mission’ rather than being ‘in the audience business’.It doesn’t make sense. He used to be U.S., and we ARE ‘the public’.
Unless you get your funding without having someone “point a gun” (Taxes ARE coerced, remember!) you’re a reciever of “Stolen property” WHATEVER you’re justification!
Commercial broadcast IS annoying sometimes, BUT they aren’t robbing me. “I get rank with Macy’s I can always go to Gimbel’s” -Lenny Bruce.
Moving frome one Gover-thug operated “Tax-Farm” to another IS NOT the Solution.
I was among those hoping to get away from it all by heading into Free Space. (Research the L5-Society, or Space Colonization Movement for details.) But that went into the Crapper when NASA kept the Shuttle was from living up to it’s original design paramenters.
The future I was promised when I was 7 was “The Conquest of Space” and “2001” NOT “1984!” If I’d known about what Snowden would be revealing I’d have studied “Guerilla Revolutionary Insurrection” instead of “Computer Science” and “Orbital Mechanics.”
Since I’ll be dead in a few years (Cancer – Multiple Myeloma) the “Men Who Stole the Future” are safe from ME, but there are many others out there who want BRIGHT futures for their Children to inherit!
don’t believe them ziggy you are well worth more than they say its just people who give away money to the t.v. station just to fell better about themselves and to feel more worthy about the themselves just cause (donated) money to the station…
