RE: OT - JUST WHEN YOU THINK THAT NOBODY WILL EVER READ YOUR OPINION(OR CARE)
Title: Message
Good
work, Ted. Thanks for doing what you can to participate and improve our
faux-democracy.
Best wishes,
Warren Sirota
Well, this is sort of off topic. But, I was
gratified to discover today something
that I find no less than absoultely
amazing.
A year ago (or maybe two) I responded to a call for written
comments from some
lobbying group (I think it was Common Cause or something
like it) that had
e-mailed me (and gazillions of others) regarding some
upcoming meetings
that were going to be held in Washington D.C. to review
the issue of "localism"
(local programming control and broadcast content)
as affected by the FCC's
continuing deregulation (and continuing
centralization) of the radio airwaves.
How often does someone ask your
opinion and you really feel like they really
mean it and believe you have
something to say? Not very often if you're like me.
Well, as it turns out
my comments were some of the few selected to be published
in a paper that
was eventually submitted before the FCC (whatever the heck
THAT means). It
may not mean much. I may accomplish exactly diddly squat.
But, I feel kinda
proud that my simple little comments got forwarded on to
somebody -- even
if it winds up in somebody's trash can. I got heard. Somebody,
somewhere
read it after all.

My
little insignificant blurb is on page 9. I may be nuts, but I'm kinda
proud.
