Don't like it? Get a bunch of like minded folk and repeal it. Isn't that your favorite retort?

I think we all agree with that. But how does a state counteract a monopolistic media system that is pushing atheism, greed is good, and a bat-shit crazy brand of christianity?

Some of that bat-shit crazy Christianity emanates from within the Tarheel State. Why do you think I am leery of this bill and fear that it may spread?

I know. I was being nice.
But still. Something needs to be done to counteract or stop the brainwashing coming out of NYC.

Every day, the GOP does something to show the country how backassward they are.

I can agree with that. But, I would also state that something needs to stand between obsessed religious zealots and the rest of us. (And that something should stand between obsessed religious zealots and other obsessed religious zealots as well. )
This is why I so like Jefferson comment on the "..wall of separation..."

We have that something. It's called antitrust and the FCC. The lawmakers just need to know that we won't vote them out if they use the tools.
