I have decided to change the premise of this program a bit.  I had originally wanted this to be an absolute open forum for anyone to talk about anything at all.  The intent of the program is to contribute constructively to the community through dialogue that will help our elected officials make decisions that more accurately reflect the wishes of the people they represent.  Instead, what has emerged, is a program where religion and/or theology are presented by the callers as a justification for bigotry, hatred, discrimination, name-calling, and mean spirited hurtfulness. Religion often does play a role in the civic duties and decision making of our representatives (for example, prayer in schools) and so I don’t want to totally forbid such discussions.  However, I will no longer engage in religious discussions that seem to have no bearing on issues facing our governing representatives.

A whole lot of nothing.  Listen if you have no life at all and just want to waste the better part of an hour.

Today's Pulse Of The Taxpayer had a loosely adhered to theme of "pet peeves" which maintained itself throughout the other issues brought to the program by the listening audience.

Today's Pulse Of The Taxpayer was a discussion regarding what to believe and what to question.  Propaganda and our own levels of astuteness and/or gullibility are important elements in all discussions especially when they are of political nature and I wanted to explore those elements by putting myself into the "hot seat."  The results were pretty interesting, I would say.
