That's fine. You're entitled to that opinion.
But if the issue is wasted federal monies, you target the biggest wastes first. I don't agree with funding an industry that already makes billions per month.

I don't think the illiteracy rate would fluctuate if PBS was gone. I really don't care if it stays or goes. It's like $10 to you and me in the grand scheme of things.

Uhhhh... Canada has it's own "PBS" also.

Usurped by Fox News.

You can move to Europe. They have the BBC...
A great many of the northern PBS stations depend on Canadian donors too.

more education > less education.
Which is really what makes it such an absurd talking point, given the value it provides......it's such an unfathomable waste of time to even discuss something so paltry. I'm embarrassed Romney brought it up, and embarrassed the Dems continued the conversation.

Whatever. You and your bloated self-important belief that the world can't live without Canada.
:cornut:
I haven't watched the Stewart-O'Reilly debate but they did apparently did get into this issue. You might want to check it out.
A more important issue is another GOP pro life candidate being found to have coached his bit on the side to get an abortion.
Why shouldn't we think that way, it's true.

Re: OT: Canadian Politics
Okay, you remember back a couple pages when you said how difficult it would be for someone who hasn't been trained in your job to walk in and talk to a bunch of school kids?
Saying that you could single-handedly draft a budget that cut expenses in the province is like saying that you could single-handedly pilot the first manned mission to Mars with no training. Let's not even get to trying to cut expenses by 14 billion dollars without touching wages, pensions or benefits which make up 55 percent of every provincial dollar spent.
That was easily the most asinine comment you've made in this thread.

I already did. And you should.
Another point made was that perhaps Bill-O should ask for his Iraq war money back. You're missing some great points.

You have to access that education though. Those that ignore their kids won't improve the illiteracy rate with PBS.

Because Romney is full of shit. He has always been more moderate and has a record in Mass that he will support pro-choice.

They did but not for long. It was silly. You can download the debate off newsgroups or torrentz if you're into that stuff.
