Sad thing is, I used to listen to them almost 20 years ago when they were in NOLA and they were actually humorous. Not any more.judybhttp://www.thanks-katrina.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557970.post-67377906969090110122010-02-21T10:43:16.482-06:002010-02-21T10:43:16.482-06:00The sad thing is that for most people scientific f...The sad thing is that for most people scientific facts do rely on a certain amount of faith. Even critical thinkers will logically deceive themselves and rework illogical common thinking they hear into something that works better for them. Faith comes into play from choosing a source of information that they trust even when it's wrong. Whenever money, religion, or political influence is involved, facts will be distorted. With radio/tv programs its a tilted battlefield out there. Despite the public owning the airwaves the one thing standing in the way of diversity is corporate money's influence over our gov't. It's had a paralyzing effect on positive change in our country, and just like the airways our gov't has become centralized as well.Seannoreply@blogger.com
