Hannah Blog  October 20, 2012  Why I don't donate to public
media.  Filed under: Down the drain,Economy,Notes from the
Household — hannah @ 9:31 am  Exacting nickels and dimes via
guilt is a very inefficient way to fund public projects. I don’t
listen to the radio much and don’t watch TV at all, but whenever
I turn on public radio anymore, they’re begging for money. It’s
a waste of my time.  Time is not money. But using money is
supposed to save time, the only definitely limited asset we
have. We don’t know how much time we have, but it is absolutely
certain to run out for each and every one of us. So, every
minute wasted is as good as stolen. That’s not behavior I intend
to reward.  How many candidates for the legislature are
promising to secure adequate funding for public media? How many
are making the argument that if public media were providing
adequate coverage of all elections all the time, including
forums at which all candidates are reviewed, it wouldn’t be
necessary to beg for political contributions
