I suppose this is a "frequencys are publicly owned" argument.  Try
broadcasting on that frequency and see what happens to you.

Look, everyone is entitled to thier opinions.  The Dixi Chicks are no more
or less entitled to then the radio stations.  I don't care what the radio
stations play.  I don't care what the Dixi Chicks say.  What I care about is
someone assuming that I (and everyone else) is so weak willed and ignorant
that somehow the media "controls" us and that we have to stop them.
