[NewPacifica] (correction) Re: Fw: Petition - please sign - THIS IS NOT ART!



I said "...This petition is just one of many whose circulation on
Pacifica lists illustrates the credulity of many Pacificans and the
critical examination of issues by some Pacificans. A similar imbalance
between hysterical exhortation and informed analysis can be found in
the on-air programming..."

I should have said "...This petition is just one of many whose
circulation on Pacifica lists illustrates the credulity of many
Pacificans and the RESPONSE BY R. PAUL MARTIN (WBAI LSB's NEW
TREASURER) ILLUSTRATES THE critical examination of issues by some
(EMPHASIS ON "SOME") Pacificans. A similar imbalance between
hysterical exhortation and informed analysis can be found in the
on-air programming..."
