I agree with Cooper that Pacifica is less interesting these days. But  
Cooper is still a know-nothing opportunist with a platform. My dog is  
smarter than Cooper, and more principled -- yet no platform for him.  
Part of the problem with leftist groups and organizations has always  
been their willingness to suffer any kind of crap, even provide a  
platform for it, in the name of participatory democracy. Cooper  
should ask himself, first, whether he could cut it in the kind of  
world he fantasizes about. He dreams of rational and humane  
corporations, whereas, it seems to me, not only are his fantasies  
wrongheaded and worthless but his opportunities in the corporate  
world are exactly nothing. Not even a third rate broadcaster, yet he  
goes on and on about broadcasting and Pacifica. Of course Pacifica  
can't live up to it's mission; can't bring in bigger audiences; can't  
be professional; can't do anything. Get rid of Cooper and rest of  
these amateurish reactionary hacks, then, maybe, it has somewhere to go.
