    Default Save NPR!

    Haha just kidding

    If you want to donate limited rescources to this crap you're an idoit
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    What don't you like about it? I heard part of a very interesting interview with a military interrogator today.

    The part where my money goes to fund it

    That part

    High art and culture should be vanguarded, not politics

    Its just a waste of money, granted its a mere pittance but ya know, the whole you gotta start somewhere thing

    It probably costs you a nickel a year.

    Correct, I would never postulate that NPR is crippiling our budget but in the same vein that nickel could be better spent elsewhere

    Like education for instance

    Maybe we could spend a nickel in education creating an educational radio program.

    If NPR gets little money from the government, then it ought to be able to survive just fine without subsidies.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    -facepalm-

    NPR isn't really that biased guys. All legitimate news sources: Al Jazeera, NPR, PBS are all smeared by conservative hosts as liberal/extremist media when in fact they are not.

    Too risky, and the government ought to fund it anyway. It's a shame private donors have to.
