So then, you have decided that free speech is only allowed if the government
can understand it (decrypt it.)

Not me, blalah. Dat be da gubmint guys whut say you guys can say.

I just go ahead and use them WLAN thingies and have no worries
about "recording all transmissions" in case the gubmint wants
to see it later. Part 97 doesn't apply to MY transmissions. :-)

Interesting, my idea of free speech is that they (my public servants--from bush
on down) don't have anything to say about what I say, nor who I say it to, nor
need to be aware of the contents of my messages (unless they find me yelling
"fire" in a crowded theatre)... however, I am an american citizen... now if
they want to hassle some other individual in another country, I guess they can,
depending if they get a pencil shoved in their ear or not, I suppose...

Yah, yah, noble free-speechifying citizen...

Did you ever yell THEATER in a fire house?

Not only that, but the constitution of my forefathers demands I keep an eye on
my "public servants", maintaining a constant vigil, and if they even look like
they are attempting to limit and/or subvert the liberties and freedoms of the
citizens here, I am demanded to use whatever means necessary to halt and
prevent them, it is how I repay those individuals who gave their lives to win
my freedoms and liberties--that is a REAL "GENTLEMAN's AGREEMENT!"...

Yah, yah, and the "gentlemen's agreement" band plans of the
ARRL are okay? innocent look


Sometimes, I think we have already lost a battle, at this point, and a foreign
influence is in some kind of control of this country...

Republicans? innocent look

... perhaps the time approaches to repay that debt, much quicker than I would
like ...

When a government begins to fear its' very own citizens--the problem is NEVER
the citizens...

Talk to the ARRL about their financial future some time if they
keep toadying to the mighty macho morsemen...
