Genie: Why don't you and other mudcatters start a radio station! I understand it can be done very economically on the Internet. I agree that most radio talk shows favor the conservative point of view. There must be a reason for that though. Think there might be more conservatives than liberals suspect there are?

Phil Donohue has begun a TV talks show similar to the one Bill O'Reilly has on the Fox News Network. His would definitely be the voice of liberalism. I think Donohue is on MSNBC.

As to the question of "rights" of non-citizens, it is my understanding that they are entitled to the same legal rights as citizens. The one exception would be in times of war or national emergency, which is the state in which we find ourselves at the moment. Hundreds of foreign nationals are being held without due process, but that is only because the Justice Department believes they may represent a threat to our safety. The courts will decide who is right on that issue. The good old ACLU is out there representing the POV of most of you folks, so you should feel very secure, I would think, that your view will prevail.
