Agreed.  If the FCC lets rfb go this time, what's to
stop a group of Satan worshiper types from starting a
station in town and spreading their message?  Or the
Klan?  Or even Canadians?  If you let one, you gotta
let 'em all, that's the American way!  Free speech and
all that.  A world without rules fast becomes chaos,
and chaos is fun only for a little while.  Let's not
turn the FM band into another citizens band please.  

Peace be with you,
