Why just yesterday I parked next to a black Prius with a KPFA Radio bumper sticker, and couldn’t help but peek inside as I got out. I wasn’t disappointed, every seat but the driver’s was filled with detritus up to the windows. Clothing, old newspapers and periodicals, food wrappers, hats, and empties. Obviously owned and operated by an “enlightened” being.
It didn’t take long to spot the likely Prius driver in the espresso shop. Middle aged and scowling, a short, fleshy woman whose hair was pulled back and tied without care, wearing dirty white shorts, a shapeless top of some sort, and sandals. She radiated unhappiness and anger.
Sure enough, by the time I got back to my ride she was in the Prius and on her way.
Via con Dios, baby!
A close relative listens to KPFA all the time, so I have heard my fair share of it. All it does is spew hate. I can’t imagine that anyone who thrives on such stuff would be a very balanced person, or have very much respect for other people.
But I forget—KPFA and all of the Pacifica network are filling a vital need for compassionate, humanitarian, and caring radio programming.
