RHF,
I'm not going to followup any more after this one, except to say that
the dashes and equal signs in your posting confuse me. You must be new
to the keyboard.
However, I'm really digging my new IC-R10. Not terribly hot, nor
selective, receiving on HF, but it's nice to be able to take a hand-held
to work that lets me know if HF or 6m is "hoppin", plus for use as a
regular scanner on VHF/UHF.
That being said, since this is a radio group, I also want to say that
you should post *before* you start drinking. You sound like a very old
person with the mind of a child.
But getting back to the JFK quote, you seem to forget that the purpose
of government is to serve the people. The idea of "ask not what your
country can do for you..." is completely contrary to the concepts
espoused by the framers of the U.S. Constitution. You can compare that
document, he
http://memory.loc.gov/const/const.html and then compare
it to China's version:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/20...ent_633686.htm
"It also follows that if a government ... itself begins to violate those
rights - then it is the right and duty of the people to regain control
of their affairs and set up a form of government that will serve the
people better." --Thomas Jefferson
Here are some good links to learn more about this country:

Now, it's important that I say this: whatever you feel about politics or
religion, in this country you may say it freely. Yes, that's right,
even if I don't agree with you. I've been called a jerk by people whose
opinions I deeply respect.
All the best, and 73,
Dave

that here on earth God's Work Must Truly Be Our Own."
