KGO radio 810 in San Francisco just
lost its Godfather. He nurtured the careers of more than one or two
radio hosts whom I respect greatly. Sunday night, they ran 3 hours of
his most famous moments. Interestingly, they chose some of his most
controversial pronouncements.
He gave vent to a virulent,
pro-abortion, anti-Catholic rant. I found it as such to
be...
disturbing and quite distasteful.
Like the good Mr. Burns, I find the
Catholic ban on mechanical birth control (condoms, IUDs, the Pill) to
be puzzling. However, I am not so arrogant as to pronounce it to be
wrong: not so with the good Mr. Burns.
Being Buddhist, I have the ultimate
respect for life. The good Mr Burns stated he thinks early term
abortion ought to be the choice of the mother. If I were to walk down
the street, randomly choose a target, and behead same with a Samurai
sword, ethically and morally, I would view both actions as
equivalent.
IN CONCLUSION
Truthfully, I never listened to his
radio show very often, because I viewed him and his political beliefs
to be puny and insignificant. I now regret not calling in to his show
and challenging him, at least once in a while. I am sorry, Gene.
Nevertheless, on this subject, you were totally wrong.
