But publicly funded state parks? Some of those
places are isolated enough to make very attractive Gulags.

Preservation of public lands, state and federal, in the form of parks,
wildlife preserves, forests, etc., is probably one of my strongest political
issues.

I am pretty much a yellow dog democrat but I have a similar problem with
public trust of the airwaves. There used to be a fairness doctrine to
stimulate public discourse, and public access to cable TV and limited
ownership of media in given geographic regions to promote local ownership.
Now the radio is polluted with right wing politics and religion and in my
part of the U.S., Clear Channel Communications owns nearly every radio
station in the entire state. This abomination has been perpetrated as
aggressively by democrats as republicans. In fact when the FCC gave away $4
billion dollars worth of spectrum licenses; the media ignored it, of course,
and the only ones complaining were Bob Dole and John McCain.
