I found this interesting:

"America Supports You"
a nationwide program launched by the Department of Defense, recognizes citizens' support for our military men and women and communicates that support to members of our Armed Forces at home and abroad.

Did the station receive this award for supporting the troops or for supporting Bush?

Adrift in the Sea of Humility

What's wrong with opposing mass systemic medication through our public utilities? I agree with him on that. What I think is weird is that I think this view is embraced more by (some) people on the left (like me), though it fits the Libertarian view and some of the extremely radical right conspiratorials too. Gen. Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove comes to mind. (I suspect this guy fits more into the latter group.)

If there's a benefit from fluoridation, it's from topical application and its use is less beneficial beyond childhood. Moreover, virtually everything we drink is loaded with fluoride via contamination. What is defensible about continuing this practice just because it became commonplace decades ago? Back when x-ray machines were used trivially in shoe stores and the country was moving toward the "clean atom" to make electricity that would be "too cheap to meter."

Even if fluoridation is harmless, why would/should government have involvement in this health care issue and none other? I don't think it's too much to demand that our water supply be as clean, pure, and unadulterated as practically possible. If you want fluoride, you only need to select from virtually all of the toothpaste multinationals that don't even make a version without the stuff.

That's my nutjobbery and I'm stickin' to it.

He's apparently been reading some of Cas Walker's old speeches. Cas was totally against the evil flouride. I think he even once claimed it was a communist plot.

BTW, if you haven't seen the dvd about Cas put together by the East Tennessee History Center and you like Knoxville history, check it out.

CBT

The America Supports You organization is run through the DoD, I believe. It's pretty non-controversial and only refers to aid for actual soldiers.

The radio owner seems a sort eccentric crank. He votes for the Constitution Party, which is a strange blend of libertarianism and Christian Dominionism.

I recall that Knoxville was not fluoridated until maybe the '70s(?). That was maybe due largely to Cas(?). I wonder if he had a principled reason other than the oppotunity to oppose meddling yankees from the federal gummint.

Is the Cas DVD available for sale? I thought there were some legal issues holding it up other than for the limited ETHC showings.

i listen to wbcr regularly, lol, and i am NOT religious in anyway, (it is a christian talk radio station). why is he a "nimrod"? because he promotes local high school and college games?, because he has found a cause he supports and has devoted his life to it and bettering his community? believe me, i dont agree with alot of stuff on the wbcr, but there is some good listenin on there, even if you are a "NWO scumbag"(not directed toward anyone:))
i hold veiws from both left and right sides, but think its stupid to put them in categories, and from the candi-dorks we have to choose from, they are all the same. cept for ron paul, yall should like him, they keep refering to him as "the former liberal" ...

He ran for County Mayor in the last election. Here's his League ofr Women Voters candidate survey:
