Poor Mr. Rodgers ...did anyone else notice how he was rubbing his hands, and was continuously looking down at the table/his hands. The poor guy was nervous! but, man! what a powerful speech. I wonder, was it al improv?

Tax dollars account for a large portion of the funding. I pay taxes so I don't get arested and sent to a rape room jail. (or get shot for refusing to go). Why do you pay taxes? Out of the generosity of your heart?

I'm not sure whether or not you know what you are saying. What do you mean by armed robbery? PBS asks for money, it doesn't demand it. And though I applaud you for not letting TV babysit your children, PBS isn't a bad influence. IT's the only good one.

TAXATION. Tax dollars go to PBS. PBS may ASK for the money from government, but government sure as hell didn't ASK me if I wanted to cough it up - the choice is pay, go to jail, or get shot for "resisting arrest". And PBS has it's own negative influences in some of it's programming as well.
