Default FCC suspends Felon's Amateur License

NO! The sky is NOT falling!

No Dee, "the people" are the gov't. Let me give you an example.

No one in his or her right mind would ever trust any president,
representive, or group of them to decide whether an individual dies or not
(or any other group of bueraucrats either!) We would only allow citizens to
do that. It is called a jury and there are 12 of them to make sure they get
it right (yes, I know, there are still far too many mistakes and DNA
evidence has released a sizeable number from death row--perhaps with DNA
evidence we can increase our accuracy a bit.)

Well, the FCC is just like that. And we should never trust them to make a
really important decision for us. The FCC can only do its' job correctly if
all 350 million of us are looking over their shoulders and telling them what
to do. Trouble is, my president, senators and reps look a bit raggy around
the edges, even to the point of making me think they are corrupt criminals.
I am trusting they will get around to fix that soon ... straight face

If someone is a lazy ass laying around trusting their gov't to do it for
them or for the other citizens, he or she is far from a great Amerian. A
great American is always active in making sure the peoples voice is heard.

What makes America great is everyones' right to free speech, activism,
protests, etc. It will all shake out in the end, any one mans/womans
opinion, or even any one group of men and women is unimportant in the much
larger picture.

In the final say, only the people have a right to place limits and they only
need to place limits to keep one from infringing on another, but you already
know that, our founding fathers documents could serve as no better example,
they need no "interpretation" on what anyone person thinks they either are
or are not--that is difficult enough.
