"the marketplace" is about as viable as "those people" are indicative.
So the Market is not viable? Interesting... What is viable to a self proclaimed pedophile?
The Market can't be trusted, but government CAN? Is that it?
Now slow down, 'cause we all know how you love to zip in and roll out your patented drive by spewing of fully automatic idiocy...
So just take a breath and realize that I'm asking an honest question of you.
You've discounted the market, despite that market being driven by tens of millions of people... whose only interests is that they want to hear something that interests them. THAT tens of millions of people provides for advertising, which provides revenue... NOW Junior... what in the hell do you find dishonest or corrupt about that?
Now beyond the position that these talk show host occupy on your AM dial... what power do those people hold over you? What POTENTIAL POWER do they hold over you? Can they come to your home and MAKE you listen to Rush Limbaugh?
Now given your litanny of posts on this thread, it's clear that you believe that the government is the incorruptable influence needed to straigten this mess out. Not the ideological left changing their position from DO FOR ME! GIVE TO ME! SCREW THE US, Blah blah blah... No NO! It's clear that what YOU feel needs to happen, is that the GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO FORCE THE SUM OF INDIVIDUALS TO LISTEN TO THAT WHICH THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY REJECTED.
So you're demanding that those with power, infringe upon those without power... and force people to listen to one form of speech, who have already rejected that speech...
How exactly are you squaring that with the whole "Tolerant of differing ideas and Compassionate of the feelings of others'... crap? I mean you are also a self proclaimed "Liberal" are ya not?
