(218 posts)they even recognize it at this point.
I picture them like the pre-humans at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey ; bones in their hands, MAGA caps on their fuzzy little heads, screaming and howling at the Constitution because they don't recognize it or understand what it is.

(4,103 posts)It hurts listeners in rural areas where NPR can no longer afford to broadcast, who need it the most in the event of an national emergency or a local weather emergency.
All NPR now gets from the federal government are a few grants for educational programming which has been slashed to almost nothing.
