Hey old man, do you know about volume controls? I thought they even had them back on those old Philco radios/tvs you grew up listening to - they're on computers too, ya know!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I think my truck has a philco radio. I don t listen to it much because the tuning knob barely moves the tuner needle and the push buttons don t work.
it only moves the needle , at all, when it s warm out, in the winter forget about tuning it.
it is stuck down around 88-89 on the FM dial, I can get a NPR station tho. the only problem is that the stuck needle is under some tension and it moves a little every time I hit a little bump and I have to constantly retune to the station.
it s not too bad because the truck doesn t have a heater in it, so I don t use it much in cold weather anyway....

I think I see where 'Da Yoopers' got the inspiration for their song "Rusty Chevrolet".
Might be time to get a new truck.
Or at least a new radio. -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
