The issues is not does the government spend too much or anything on PBS, it's whether they should or not. That's the debatable point and one which has been missing from the discussion. Actually it's a minor point and one that's perhaps very silly to have at all because in the wider scheme of things there's plenty of things the government throws cash at for better or for worse. There's any number of things, from the NEA to public grants to even public academic funding one could, in some ways debate. But again, it seems like an insanely trivial place to start.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
