[BC] California student radio station KYDS faces music at FCC

[Jerry Mathis]

Blaine,
 
Your opinion is as good as anyone else's! Just because someone disagrees with yours is no reason to quit offering them. I learned a long time ago that if you don't offer anything because you're afraid you might be wrong, you'll never offer anything. Peoples' opinions are like noses: everybody's got one. Besides, if you don't speak your opinion, who will? If your opinion is bad or wrong, you'll hear about it, and why. There's nothing shameful about realizing your opinion may not be correct, and changing it. This is how we LEARN. And sometimes, we learn that OUR opinion was correct all along!
 
You have to grow some thick skin if you're going to participate in the world of opinion. But remember that criticism of your ideas is not personal unless you make it that way. A great thing about this list is that, for the very large part, we can disagree without being disagreeable.
