I think you owe it to your listeners, and the community, to continue your show. I think
it provides a forum for some opinions (many of which I immediately discard) which
otherwise would never be heard. It also provides some in-depth discussion of topics,
and that is sadly lacking in most local news coverage. As far as being "divisive", we
are ALL divided in some of our opinions, but silencing those with whom one doesn't
agree is not conducive to civil discourse. I seldom <u>agree </u>with your guests, but I will
listen and I do defend their right to say what they choose to say.</span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">Stay on, keep doing what you do, and fight for the right of a local radio station to do
what the US says it does---give everyone the right to an opinion and the freedom to
express it. Many things don't relect the feelings of the "community" (which community
I'm unsure). Civil rights workers didn't reflect the feelings of many communities, but
that changed for the better. If the community has a "pulse" it seems to me it is one of
strength in opposition, willingness to protest, and an ability to make decisions.</span></font></div>
