Re: KAUT News Station WHAT A JOKE
Okay, folks, let's stop this right here.
Darling Diva, I understand your frustration but let me assure you this... it's not the entire state of Oklahoma's fault that local TV station KAUT made the poor choice to shield us from a harmless talk show just because they thought it was for our good. The problem isn't Oklahoma, this problem is the management at KAUT.
I'm really surprised no one on this board is noticing the changes in Oklahoma culture based on many variables, namely our decision at the polls.
Being surprised that the lottery is in the "bible belt" is a fool's paradise. If nearly one million people voted yes on the lottery AND casino gaming versus 400,000 or so, then that is a clear indication of what direction Oklahoma's people are taking. If Oklahoma were really the kind of state everyone believes to be, then the lottery would have either narrowly passed or fialed to win Oklahoma's vote altogether. I thought it would be a narrow victory. It was a 2-1 victory. Not even Texas saw that kind of landslide when the lottery passed here in 1990.
Now, gay marriages didn't win at Oklahoma's polls in 2004, but the same happened in every state that voted on the issue. It even failed in Oregon.
My point is, it's obvious that the feelings of Oklahomans no longer reflect those of the legislatire, nor the media. The two are going in opposite directions. This will continue, as people are tired of poor state leadership. Think about it, on almost every issue we voted on in the least five years was complete opposite of how Oklahoma lawmakers voted.
If no one can channel their energy behind that kind of momentum for a more progressive Oklahoma, and instead channel their energy on every bad decision made in Oklahoma (such as at KAUT), then we have found our opposite current that we are rowing against... ourselves. If this is the case, then we do love to trash Oklahoma just to trash it.
Continue the Renaissance!!!
