More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have said, and i believe, that potentially we have in this country a free enterprise system of radio and television which is superior to any other. but to achieve its promise, it must be both free and enterprising. there is no suggestion here that networks or individual stations should operate as philanthropies. but i can find nothing in the bill of rights or in the communications act which says that they must increase their net profits each year, lest the republic collapse.

Civilization, let me tell you what it is. first the soldier, then the merchant, then the priest, then the lawyer. the merchant hires the soldier and priest to conquer the country for him. first the soldier, he is a murderer; then the priest, he is a liar; then the merchant, he is a thief; and they all bring in the lawyer to make their laws and defend their deeds, and there you have your civilization!
