Understand you have dropped New Yankee Work Shop.

Since all you seem to do on weekends is beg anyway, no wonder you
don't have time for this program.

BTW, I am totally opposed to your present policy of begging and will
NEVER give you money.

You are public television, that means support from the public, not
private, purse, IMHO.


Why do you believe that wage-earners should be forced to pay part of
their earnings to subsidize others' recreational viewing desires at the
force of the government's tax system? Sure, it's a small amount, but a
small amount to public television, a small amount to public radio, a
small amount to the national endowment for the arts, ... and so on
eventually becomes a big amount -- and one that was never the intent of
the framers that money be taken from one group of people to pay for
something for another group's personal pleasure.
