I don't feel any guilt, but I feel a whole lot of shame. I live in a
country where truck stops can hang out a big sign saying "Stop In When
You're Ready For a Big Radio" and CB shops can set up a continuous tape
loop advertising illegal linears on channel 19. This is shameful.

Yes, it's true that you and I can do nothing about it, and the FCC is
unwilling to do anything about it. And THAT is what is shameful.

And the folks that we keep electing into public office don't care. And
that is even more shameful.

I agree, and feel a lot of anger about it. When we have laws, the laws need
to be enforced lest it send a message that says no laws are important,
making matters worse. But it still is not a ham problem.
