I'd love to hear a show on the switch to digital television. How the conversion is going in the pilot city and the people like myself who use rabbit-ear antennae and don't plan to buy a converter. I will get rid of my television in February since I don't think the government should dictate the items I buy or influence my purchase of a new television or cable.

I have attended many Duck football games in Eugene, and think that black athletes are regarded as gladiators or animals rather than humans. When plays are going well during games, fans are out of their seats cheering. When mistakes are made, some fans have been heard saying (to paraphrase), "that f'n N%&&*#".

I am a person of color living in Eugene, I have lived in Portland and Sacramento. I don't like living in a town where most everything in business and politics is created by, directed toward, and made to benefit people without color as they are the clear majority. Businesses and politicians have no need to appeal to a diverse audience because it wouldn't help them in the long run. I notice the lack of differing viewpoints and backgrounds, things that I regard as highly beneficial to a worth-while community.
