Fuck. I want the local news to dedicate one segment a week to letting people come on and read their manifestos live on air. The crazier the better!

We [used to] have that: it's called "public access TV" and hardly anybody watches it.

My city defunded it -- redirecting the cable TV subscriber fee that paid for it into a slush fund -- and it failed to become the major scandal it should've been because hardly anybody noticed.
