I didn't contribute to KPFA during this round of pledges. Usually I do. But now there are all these organizations trying to "take back KPFA" etc. etc. and I think its either sad or hypocritical for those in charge of the news, various anouncers like Amy Goodman (who is a favorit) to be exposing corporatism while being muzzled themselves, and submitting to it. Especially when I hear (through KPFA) that Mexican workers in a Honda plant have recently, under threat of their own job loss, instituted am independent union, to replace the PRI State "union." And since I once cancelled all classes (among other things) to protest the bombing of Cambodia, even tho the university administration said it would fire any professors who did so.

Well, there are times to take a stand, obviously, but when I hear Amy and Phillip and Jerry asking for money just as though Pat Scott didn't exist, I have to wonder if I'm not right back in my old college days when classes went on, even while the peasants were being burned and bombed, because nobody had the guts to say to hell with this.

So, where do you need some money and why, because I would like to get rid of this Pat character, but am also beginning to wonder if I haven't seen this whole mess before
