There's no fun or challenge in that.

Why does listening to the radio need to be "challenging"? Do you enjoy
the challenge of hitching up your horse to your buggy to drive to town? Do
you enjoy the challenge of washing your clothes by rubbing them on a
washboard? Do you enjoy the challenge of fiddling with the rabbit ears
antenna on your B&W TV set to watch snowy, ghosty images on it? Do you
enjoy the challenge of making candles every day and making sure each room in
your house has fresh candles for each night? Chopping wood and hauling it
into the fireplace of every room in your house?

Society has wasted away to a lazy, worthless, self indulgent bunch that
want instant gratification and expect everyone to bend to their every whim.

What an absurd rant. Yeah, internet radio is causing the decline and fall
of society.

No, it's not the cause, just a symptom. The cause is laziness in general.

Laziness has nothing to do with internet radio. It is quite a "challenge"
to get an old laptop, install Windows/iTunes/WiFi network card, get AM
transmitter, connect laptop to AM transmitter (hum? get a Ground Loop
eliminator), find clear AM frequency to broadcast on (clear both day and
night), set laptop volume/EQ to get good sound, install VNC on laptop so I
can control it from any other computer in the house, put both laptop and AM
transmitter in high (to maximize signal and range) out-of-the-way place,
recap old tube radios to play like new, then after all this listen to "lazy"
internet radio.

Then do all of the above a 2nd time to have 2 stations on the air
simultaneously.

Without the above, I couldn't listen to KSL (or hundreds of other stations
around the country/world) at all. But now I can listen in any room of my
house (or outside), on any old (or new) radio of my choice, without having
to sit at a computer.

I call it progress.

We've had it too easy. A nice long recession will toughen everybody up
and shake-out the wimps.

Much truth to you statement. Nothing wrong with as Brenda Ann stated
about growing your own garden, none whatsoever. Any size yard it can
be done in and not only does it save you money but "you" control if
it's being sprayed with crap or not or being forced to eat fruits or
vegetables that are being grown from the "terminator seeds." I am glad
I started doing it. The difference in taste is noticed right away.
