SCOTT CHRISTENSON TYPED IN A MESSAGE TO NATHAN BOLLINGER:  Can anyone say 
that Rush Limbaugh is "interesting" in Africa?    (I know what's 
coming, I better leave!)
 
MIKE SPRAGUE COMMENTS:  I presume that Limbaugh is ignored by nearly 
everybody outside of the USA.  If Africans were listening and comprehended, 
they would soon stop fighting amongst themselves and organize a retaliatory 
military operation against the United States.
 
On a related subject, I am often horrified by the things that I hear early in 
the morning (Eastern Time Zone) on the 120 meter international broadcast band 
and late in the evening just outside of the 49 meter band.  Somebody or some 
people are giving air time to some pretty scary fundamental Christian 
preachers.  It went over the top a couple of weeks ago when I heard a rant 
and rave concerning the supposed fact that the Bible teaches that children 
should be kept in line by occasional corporal punishments.  Some examples 
were given -- holding a hand to the burner on a kitchen range or a back-hand 
slap.  Now imagine what joy this must give to critics of the USA.
 
It has been a few years since I have left a post on this echo.  The 
inclination developed after I got my hands on a computer that scrolls text 
fast enough for me to easily skip the long transcriptions of DX programs and 
the multiply-posted commercial advertisements.  The monitoring reports from 
the Mir space station have been interesting and worthwhile.
