James Cash Penney would disagree with you.  (He was an extremely
religious and honest man - he even refused to accept credit cards, on
the grounds that he thought it wrong to drive people into debt.  He
would rather lose a sale than do that.)

Uh huh.  Good thing I became an engineer - I wouldn't be able to work
for long lying to Sears' customers.

Just because we don't share the same opinion, does not mean one of us
is idiotic.  That premise is false Telemon.  It could be that we are
both 100% correct (with respect to targeting different interest
groups).  You are correct that AM is better for long-distance
listening for old people.

And I am correct that young people want many, many more stations on
the dial (they like variety).

We are both correct.
