Has the code exam been dropped yet? Might as well be all black or all
white because at the end of the day there are still people who support
the wall.

All purposeful action starts with an idea - a dream, as it were.
First the idea, then the actions to make the idea become
a reality.

Sort of like showing one's REAL patriotism by volunteering for
milirary service?

Let's see if we have your thinking down, Leonard. Someone who doesn't
volunteer for military service, especially in time of peace, isn't a
patriot? Is that what you're saying?

The person who will not allow him/herself to believe they can do
something is already defeated.

tries to sound like a Reverend on morse code,
preaching from some ivy-covered pulpit. [pulpit fiction
but without a Travolta] Is this a prelude to (roll drums)

...A Sermon On The Antenna Mount?

Can become an artist-illustrator, traveling from
place to place, painting portraits? Sam Morse did that. Sam
and his financial backer Al Vail invented morse code. ART
with minor success at it in any media REQUIRES a built-in
aptitutde for that (or an excellent PR/gallery person to sell
"great art").

Aptitutde, dutde?

I started out WORKING as an artist-illustrator because I did
have the built-in talent/aptitude for that. Not only that, my
completed works were BETTER in any media than Sam Morse's.

If you DO say so yourself...

That Test Element 1 remains IN the amateur radio regulations is
due primarily to the incredible acrimony of those olde-tyme
hammes who cannot bear to lose the one link to their personal
"fame" that set them "up above their fellows" (as hobbyists).

You have incredible acrimony over the issue of morse testing, yet the
test remains. Go figure.
