Haven't you ever listened to the old Art Bell show?
Some of his callers held prestigious academic or
government positions, and apparently wanted to how far off the deep
end they could go.


I could be wrong as I'm going back to a late night show over five years ago
and I seem to recall it was one of his.

He was talking about GPS and played back a snippet of a conversation of
above mentioned prestigious academic person that went ballistic trying to
validate his credentials. But I digress...

I so wanted to point out that Art's (if indeed it was his show) was a
disingenuous presentation of GPS as it led the less informed to believe
there was a very dark and pervasive side to GPS. Continuing the only good
aspects of GPS were promoted by manufactures and dealers of GPS systems.

Good or bad...the bottom line was he attracted an audience and an audience
translates to advertising revenues.
