over both telephone lines. When the host
speaks, the gain automatically lowers on

to be expressed. Ideas are attacked but persons
are not. This basic respect for persons has
effectively negated the bigot in the past.

the air at the flip of the switch by the host.

air when a listener calls in from that station's
listening audience.
