I don't recall ever voting for Michael Powell. He was appointed to the job because he has a powerful father. Now, because his daddy was successful, he's going to decide what I'm allowed to hear.

We, the people, can regulate our airwaves the old fashioned way - via the marketplace.

If you don't like what you hear you can change the station. But the marketplace is a far far more efficient and freer way for "we the people" to regulate content than the heavy hand of the government could ever be.

The man who appointed him was elected President in 2000.

The FCC is the regulatory arem of the people's interest in establishing broadcast standards. This has been established since about 1920.

No kids either, right?
