WPKN folded, according to Long Island newspaper

The East Hampton Press is reporting that WPKN folded, although it is not certain when.

In an article published this week announcing a local studio in Springs, NY, the paper stated

The station was founded in 1963 by the University of Bridgeport. It was sold some years later, when the university’s radio station folded, to its own membership. It is run and owned by a board of directors that is elected each year by the members, according to Mr. Ernst.

I've been at WPKN for many years, and to my knowledge the station never folded. Learn something new every day.

Bill Ayers planned re-education camps

And if 25 million capitalists couldn't be re-educated, they would be killed.

Isn't it comforting to know that Bill Ayers is now an educator?

Going John Galt

Dr. Helen Smith wonders if it's time to "go John Galt" -- a reference to the hero of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, who led a strike of the productive industrialists against the government backed looters.

Obama talks about taking from those who are productive and redistributing to those who are not — or who are not as successful. If success and productivity is to be punished, why bother? Perhaps it is time for those of us who make the money and pay the taxes to take it easy, live on less, and let the looters of the world find their own way.

My question to readers is, what are some ways to “go John Galt” (legally, of course) — that is, should productive people cut back on what they need, make less money, and take it easy so that the government is starved for funds, or is there some other way of making a statement?

Think "going Galt" is too extreme? Watch this video and think again.
