| Message | Why can we not have the governments viewpoint represented? As I said before, all other media is private; all other views are represented. So why shouldn\'t their be a station for the government? You should support a national TV Station, they\'d preach YOUR ideas, seeing as how the Right-wingers are in power. I am supporting your rights! |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
