The point is that in this country it is illegal for the government to
trick the governed, or to attempt to trick the governed. That is how
totalitarians behave.

Huh? I've got a stack of VOA QSL's here.

What's your problem?

Hmmm... dxAce replied that he has received "a stack of VOA QSL's" in
response to another poster mentioning that it was prohibited. Then you
(David) replied that it's "illegal for a government to "trick the
governed" ala "totalitarians". Exactly how does offering a reception report
and requesting a QSL in return equate to "tricking" anyone? Exactly how
does offering a reception report and requesting a QSL in return indicate a
totalitarian form of government? Just so we have a point of reference for
where your mind is at, do you find it particularly difficult to distinguish
the difference between a mere reception report and the subsequent receipt
of a QSL from a "video news release" or a "prepackaged news story"? If I
were to request a QSL from a foreign language broadcaster (one I was not
fluent in), would I have been "tricked by totalitarians" somehow - merely
by offering a reception report and receiving a QSL in return?

Ask "tianli". He seems to think that requesting a QSL from China Radio
International equates to approval of the Chinese Communist Party.
Furthermore, he thinks that buying Chinese made radios and other
products equates to same.
