little kids to molest?

that
was a lot more exciting and productive than falling asleep from
boredom
in
high school... and later I had the luxury of studying what I wanted,
not
a
required curriculum, in college.

Not a required curriculum...right. This is what lots of people say who
failed to graduate, so I'm willing to bet that you didn't graduate.
Did you?

Nope, the headhunter firm of Joe Sullivan, Inc. came calling and offered
me
a VP position at a publicly traded company to run their broadcast
division.
Since I had gone to college because I was consulting and had lots of free
time, this was no loss as I didn't have need for a degree... what I
wanted
was to give some structure to my knowledge of business and finance (radio
management) and the social sciences such as psychology, sociology,
cultural
anthropology (radio programming, in other words) and math and statistics
(research and ratings)... which I achieved. It also allowed me to learn
business terminology in English, which I had little familiarity with.

Another fine story. You should be a Coast to Coast guest. On second
though you have better work on making your story more believable.


The course of study is undoubtedly in the ASU records from '73 to '75, while
the position of VP is listed in the annual reports of Pueblo International,
Inc. (NYSE: PII) for every year from 1975 to 1980.

Next question?

What strikes me as bizarre about you... er, that should be
"exceedingly
bizarre" since nearly everything about you is somewhat bizarre... is
your
repeated focus on high school diplomas. One is obviously not needed if
a
person is intelligent and a bit of an autodidact. Since most classroom
time
is wasted while the slowest learners are attended to, most high school
classes are boring and frustrating to those of some ability. Yet you
seem
to
wish all teens to be doomed to this experience, which dulls the mind
and
stifles creativity... why is that?

Because you're a verifiable pathological liar?


You did not answer the question: what is so important about a high school
diploma?

Most people attain one so the fact that you could not makes you
different and not in a good way.


My point is that I have never been held back by not having one, and leaving
high school when I did afforded me real world experience I never could have
obtained in school or college, as well as contacts all around Latin America
that have served me well for decades.

Broke, oh faux one? So very sad. You should have graduated high
school.

Graduating from high school would not have helped me at all and has
never
been a factor in business. It's all about successful work experience.

This is what a lot of people say who failed to graduate from college.

Wait a minute...you said high school? Are you serious? You failed to
graduate from high school? That's not funny.

Yeah, I was bored out of my gourd, and built a radio station instead.

Most people are bored with HS and still manage to get through it.

.... only because they had no alternative. I did. It was a lot more
challenging, rewarding and profitable to own and run a #1 radio station than
to take woodshop or algebra. By being an owner, I could make mistakes that
would cause an employee to be fired and learn how to fix them and not make
them again. As John Kluge said to a friend of mine, "Son, you don't learn
from your successes."

There is no reason to be bored in HS if there is something else you can do
that is of more value.

You built nothing.

He built up a story. It took a great deal of fabricating to make up that
lie of a life story and now he has to maintain that lie. It's not
getting any easier for him.


As mentioned before, my entire curriculum vitae can be verified. I can give
you a hundred names, ranging from the mayor of Guayaquil to the leading DJ
in Miami who worked for me, with me or were clients or such of my stations
in Ecuador; my website actually has multiple pictures of me from the
construction of the first station onward, as well as my cards, a verie
letter from a prominent NRC member, etc. In fact, several NRC members, the
US delegate of the AIR, etc., visited me and saw my stations... folks such
as Larry Godwin and John Hoogerheide of the NRC and Arch Madsden of
Bonneville International..

Not all people are monocultural xenophobes.

You never explained what you did to have your mother throw you out of
the house. Where threatening violence upon some family member? Doing
drugs? Maybe it was cheating on those HS final exams and getting thrown
out of HS that was finally the last straw for your mom.


That is pretty funny. I had always wanted to live in Latin America going
back to pre-school years. Since I was bored with school, despite very high
grades, the school advisor recommended a year in another country. That year
turned into an internship at Organización Radio Centro in México City (Check
with Francisco Aguirre, Jr., CEO of GRC or Ramiro Garza Treviño, then PD of
the group, both living and friends) and then another trip to Ecuador where I
ended up buying a station license during my senior year of school and
putting a station on the air (Check for Carlos Guarderas Barba, who now has
an alarm company in Ecuador who sold me much of my technical parts and
supplies, or Larry Cervone, retired former head of Gates Radio in IL who
sold me the studio equipment of Betty Pino at WAMR in Miami who did free
lance announcing for me from '65 to '67 or Herb Levin, former Manager of
WQBA in Miami who helped me get work in PR whent he government went wild in
Ecuador in 1970).

My mother was very proud of my accomplishments.

No, you do not get it. Debate, going back to the Greeks, was as much about
the enjoyment of the discussion as the content being discussed. There are
two parts... holding a point of view and enjoying the challenge of defending
it.



I have a disdain for DXers who have a disdain for broadcasters. Big
difference.

� � �What you conveniently ignore, is that fans don't turn on the object
of their fanaticism....they have to be run off.

This "hatred" has to origins...

One is based in the decline of AM whereby most "DX hours" programming is
networked and there is little variety to hear among domestics.

The second is based on AM looking for a saviour, and placing some faith inHD Radioto improve its declining fortunes.

The first makes late-night DX boring. The second makes it impossible. Both
are reasonable business decisions by AM stations, but DXers see them as
attacks.



� � �Broadcasters were long disdainful of DXers before DXers were turned
off.

I would not say that. Interest in DX reports waned as the importance of
non-local coverage waned, while at the same time most non-Metro stations
used outside contract engineers who were not paid to answer reception
reports. Today, nearly nobody at a station will know what DX even is.



Unless, like another poster here, who faded away about the time of your
appearance, your bickering here is fodder for some discussions outside
of the group.

How nice to be able to foment conversation.

You have no point.

"News/Talk/Sports:Radio's Last Bastion"

"Music FMs of any flavor are utterly screwed... Right now -- while FMs
are losing the music audience to new media -- satellite radio is
offering more News/Talk/Sports programming than we can fit on AM
radio..."

"Sean Hannity's warning for music-oriented Radio"

"In five years when every car has an iPod connection and you can
listen to anything you want, what is music radio going to do? Sean is
dead right on this point. Within five years we'll see diminishing
ratings on sound-alike music-oriented FM's. And radio will enter a new
age of non-music programming. Not necessarily talk. But not
particularly music... The AM radio style of political talk is only one
facet of what will fast become a burgeoning trend towards non-music."

"News/Talk/Sports Tops Radio Formats, Interep Analysis Reveals"

"The latest share numbers place the News/Talk/Sports format at the

continuously measured metros. That share number is even higher than
levels seen last spring, when the war in Iraq began. According to
Interep, more stations than ever are programming News/Talk."

Sure they do. It's called dropping out and getting a job or going in the
service.

It was a lot more challenging, rewarding and profitable to own and
run a #1 radio station than to take woodshop or algebra. By being an
owner, I could make mistakes that would cause an employee to be fired
and learn how to fix them and not make them again. As John Kluge said
to a friend of mine, "Son, you don't learn from your successes."

So how did you do this? You are 16, no HS diploma that you could have
gotten early but instead you quit. Who would lend money to a 16 year old
loser to built a radio station?

There is no reason to be bored in HS if there is something else you
can do that is of more value.

Well, that's water over the dam now.
