One is not required to pay before reaping the benefits. It's a bit like going to a coffee shop and only paying if you feel energized by the coffee/pastries. But who doesn't? From all the news groups and sources I read, this one is selective, relevant, and professional. The articles that RSN posts are timely and poignant. The funding model is that one pays voluntarily for what one values and benefits from. What could be more democratic than that? Please support this organization. The more of us who do, the less it costs each.
