Can you point out one?

Besides, it might just cover what I am doing. People do burn
themselves in the boiling water occasionally, and if it gets an
ambulance down there faster, I will use that radio, license be damned.

You don't know its not harming anyone, and that again is irrelivant to the
point of legality.

I'd challenge anyone to demonstrate otherwise. As to harm, the burden
of proof is on the accuser. You know that.

BS. I can say whatever I want about any topic I wish.

No, not really.

Yes - really!

I invite them to prove a single incident based on what I've said
here. For all you know, I am lying through my teeth. Also permitted.

Not in court its not. Keep it up. You may wind up there.

This isn't court, is it? Stop pretending.

Someone in authority has to register a complaint first. Nobody has
caught me operating without a license. Why, when my transmissions
have been out for all to see and hear, in plain sight of the federal
government?

For all you know, I have a license! That doesn't mean I think the
government overcharging for a pittance of a service is right. More
likely, it is because nobody really cares when no harm is done and the
service provided is of value to so many.

Its not unethical or immoral to charge whatever someone wants to charge for
a service. They can charge what they want to. You have the choice to pay
or operate illegally.

It is, when it is a government agency. They have an ethical
obligation to charge no more than necessary to accomplish an essential
task. If they overcharge, they have blown it. As a probable fiscal
conservative, you also know that.
