For all the people who are so concerned about this topic, Relax. The largest radio network in the U.S. is owned by conservatives. And you still get to hear the news. And I haven't heard any of you complaining about censorship by them. What? What's the name of this abomination? Write me and I'll tell you. -- Blessed Be, Jeff Hull {ihnp4}trwrb!trwspp!spp2!jhull 13817 Yukon Ave. Hawthorne, CA 90250
