Hey, I really liked that show - it gave time for people to speak their 
minds, no matter how far out there.
Bummer dude....
     And that really is the point of KZYX is it not?  A community 
supported hodgepodge of local, national news (NPR?) and forums for 
public debate of local candidates, issues etc...  Oh and dont forget all 
of the good music, educational stuff and LOCAL people doing what they do 
to keep the airwaves alive with content.
     As a member in good standing, I urge everyone to try and get a long 
and compromise -
I can see that there are a lot of people that are "hot" under their 
collar - and that can be a good thing( to a point) - keep the 
discussions going!  But again, be kind to one another - we are all part 
of this vibrant community.

It can be argued that compromise means that no one really gets what they 
want.  But as a community sponsored radio station I am still happy to 
have the exposure to it - that may not be available in other parts of 
the world / country - lets not forget that.
I kinda miss sister DJ Sister Yasmin ( spelling?) for that polarity 
thing - just because you dont always agree with something does not mean 
that you should not have some exposure to it - even if it is not your 
thing - it may spark something in you to see another side that you may 
not have considered before.

Try to be kind to one another and stay level headed out there..........
