While I commend Matt for his commitment, I'm not sure that is the best strategy. Everything he said was an opinion. He did not advocate violence - as has happened across the country. He acted like an uninformed ass, but that is about par for the course. My feelings are that there is no way to win with these guys. They don't respond to logic; they have no shame, and if you try to correct them or get your own point across, they will simply make fun of you. They are like school-yard bullies. The only thing that will rein them in is getting a note sent home to their parents - and then having the parents give a shit! So, I would suggest directing your energies at the advertisers on his show and the station owners and managers. Make your case for equal rights - not special rights - in letters, phone calls, and emails. Make it clear that you know who supports this yahoo: advertisers and station management. This has worked elsewhere in the country. Several advertisers pulled ads when bicyclists complained about a DJ that laughed about running bicyclists off the road. One was a Chevy dealership, no less. Station management disciplined other DJs for suggesting throwing bottles at bicyclists. But keep in mind that nothing he said was even close to that. He just picked on bicyclists and pedestrians as a political force, not suggesting hurting them. Good luck either way. -- Robbie _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
