MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

Quote from: triple zero
Quote from: Machine Grind DreamStations can refuse to air things though and if they're subversive they will likely do this.
is that so? but as long as you pay up, they'll broadcast it, right? it's not like they're doing the other side's propaganda for free and out of idealism right?
i would think if you can show the money the media doesn't care which side you're on.

(edit: just read the above post, apparently things work differently.)

the money you are willing to pay the station to air your subversiveness is a drop in the bucket compared to the money the station is afraid it will lose if your message offends it's audience and corporate sponsors.

leave it to America to find a way to use the free market to supress dissident speech.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

When we say free, we mean free to do just as if it was an authoritarian dictatorship, except for the profit of advantaged citizens.
