----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Here Here!!! I too am so frustrated by this I don't know what to do. I've been calling 900 numbers, emailing Newt, driving my friends crazy as I rant and rave. And the other morning I heard Rep. Idiot, the first witness against CPB say, "I'm not against PBS, don't say I'm for shutting down PBS. I just want it to be privatised. It should have to compete just like Cable and Network TV." How can a jerk be elected who has the balls (or lack of mental power) to say that Public Broadcasting can be privatised! There is a war against culture and intellectualism in this country and it scares the shit out of me. Dianne Brooks
