    I'll bet many of his buddies got pockets full f money on the wind generation project as well. Cronyism and graft seems prominent among Bush supporters.

    Texicans deserve it Leaning. A few relocated ones I have met had recovered though. Is there rehab for getting over being a Texican ?

    Do you know why there is wind in West Texas? Because Oklahoma sucks...

    It would if, by law, they believed Texas to be the opposite of Oklahoma. The unFairness Doctrine would mandate that the opinion of Texas be expressed to answer that of Oklahoma. Thus shutting out any other options. Often people would avoid expressing the opinion of Oklahoma because the Texas opinion would then be necessary to "Fair" it up in that oh-so-special Government Approved way.

    Face it, uscit, it limits discussion and often does the opposite of what it was proposed to do. Thankfully we realized that and got rid of such restrictive censorship and now have many more options to us. Now we can hear the opinion of Colorado too, and even sometimes Kansas even though they have far less representation by numbers.

    It depends on what you believe is "well". If you are a Libertarian and your opinion is shuffled to the side and never expressed because it is not a Government approved "opposite" of the other then you would find your definition of "fine" might be a little jaundiced.

    We got along "fine" with the idiotic price-fixing of Nixon's but that doesn't mean the policy was right or even beneficial.

    I see how much better it is now than before, I like it that way. I like choice in my network news. I like to be able to change channels and get an entirely different viewpoint. I like to be able to listen to the Libertarian on our talk raadio at night and the Democrat in the morning.

    In my opinion it has gotten far better than before, choice is better than government homogenization at any moment of any day. If I like I can, and do, change over to the Liberal Talk station to listen to the diatribe of the day. I enjoy having these choices that I would not have otherwise when their unFairness Doctrine specifies the "opposite" of each opinion and we end up limited to the opinions of the major two again.

    Your rationalization for returning to such censorship fails to be convincing in any way and all I have to do is remember the past. Playing "See the Same Story on all Three News Shows" while flipping through the channels....

    I will continue to prefer my choices over a standardization and homogenization of Government-Approved "news" and opinion.
