[BC] Can technology create a significant revenue source for radio?

[Jerry Mathis]

It's the old "Frog in a kettle of boiling water" type of thing. Wasn't it good old Ben Franklin again (he was SUCH a fountain of wisdom!) that said that our liberties are not taken from us wholesale, but in little bits and pieces. THAT is why we must maintain eternal vigilance. Unfortunately, we've grown tired of "Eternal Vigilance" and are too wrapped up in our TV's and iPod's and computer gaming and Internet RPG's. And that's just the kids. We're too worried about keeping a roof over our heads and the wolf away from the door to worry about our freedoms' bits and pieces. I know it's pessimistic, but I believe we're in for worse times before we get back to good times.
