Hey - it wasn't me who brought up the idea that mindlessly doing what
the law requires is always justified.

And, if the cost of the license is too high - there are some that would
argue that it DOES have something to do with ethics....so "geez" back
atcha. It isn't hard to imagine a fiscal conservative thinking it
another unethical aspect of big government...just like excessive taxes
or anything else the government nicks you for.

The cost of a GMRS license was probably no big deal until all those cheapo
handhelds came out. Who the hell is goin to pay $75 to license a $25 radio?
The license requirement is outdated yes, unethical and immoral, uh, no. I'm
pretty this requirement will go the way of CB license someday.
