Hey Doug, I see you are as smug as usual about this which is too bad. One might be excused for thinking you have no connection the network. Why bother? So we can continue to hear shows such as yours no? - don’t you care about your own program at least?
Obviously I didn’t make myself clear. Actually I care about this more than ever, and have been agitating among some of my fellow producers about doing something. (An awful lot of them are just shrugging, in a gesture of hopelessness.) The “why bother?” came from near-despair, not smugness. Maybe I’m overly affected by the mess that is WBAI, but getting involved with Pacifica governance seems like exposing yourself to massive amounts of flying shrapnel with only a very remote chance of success. Describing it as an uphill battle feels like an understatement.
