It's always sad to see people who are not only ignorant, but proud of it. But even worse is the rejection of Beethoven's and Schiller's principle that "all men are brothers". Now that Beethoven's message can no longer be heard on the Houston airwaves, will the Christian hip hop station continue broadcasting the same message? And if not, just how "Christian" is it?
