Are schools and PBS perfect--no way. But we need an educated society. Ken Burns documentaries are a great example. Anyone can watch one on PBS and walk away more educated on the subject. Also, our local PBS station is great. I learned a lot about hunting and fishing as a kid watching Outdoor Oklahoma on OETA. Poppycock....I dont need to pay for your education. Need to get rid of this socialism even if its one small step at a time.

The company that "funds" PBS and NPR is shutting operations. They could probably keep going if they got advertising like the rest of the market. They can go earn advertising dollars like everyone else in the free market. They already do! They play short, complimentary spots saying how wonderful a product or service is and how that company made this programming possible. THAT'S AN AD! All they have to do is get off their liberal rear ends and do more of that so they can pay their own way. WTA District 9 Director ... Go D9! Member: WTA, Intertel, Mensa (Trappers ain't stupid.)

It may mean they will need to run a few more telethons to make up for the lost funding. If you like their programming, support them with your generous donation. It should never have been taxpayers, funding your entertainment. I like some PBS shows and I do privately contribute to their programming. Megapredator ... top of the food chain!

Cable and satellite subscriptions. Plus many shows have to pay the channel to get onto TV. Each channel offered gets a slice of your monthly subscription. ESPN gets something like 3 dollars per sub. Which is the highest urate if I remember. Most channels don't get a full dollar. Last edited by SNIPERBBB; Yesterday at 04:38 PM. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php
