I agree with all of your thoughts and some of your remedies, except, the airways still should be accessable to all of us...not just those who can pay the "commercial" costs. There are many issues that deserve wide public discussion. TV is out of our cost range, although we should get a chance there too.
I think it is censorship, based on our ability to pay...
An interesting note is the issue of what I think are called Narrow Band radio stations, widely under attack here in Mich...about the only place that Detroit area bands get air time...(mostly Rock and Rollers) but I started out on that and then moved on to the harder stuff!
What do you think?
