Hey, wanna talk SHUDDER?

this is what makes ME shudder... the thought that you are invoking
the priviledges of free speech and rights of society just like I am,
but also advocating that an idea, concept or practice be forced
upon a person against thier will.

And you're doing that with a straight face.

By that logic, anyone who proposes any sort of legal requirement that is
"against a person's will" makes you shudder.

For example, speed limits on highways. Or requiring children to go to school.

How about band edges? Power limitations on transmitters? Mode restrictions like
no 20 kHz wide FM voice on 20 meters?

Here's a thought for ya, Clint:

Suppose NCVEC and NCI have their way and Element 1 is just dropped. Poof, no
more code test. There's a good chance that will happen, too. Some would even
say it's a slam dunk.

Then suppose a group wants to do away with the Amateur Extra and General
licenses and their written tests. Suppose this group says the idea of requiring
more written testing against their will simply makes them shudder. Forcing all
that theory stuff on them....terrible, just terrible.

Will that make you shudder?
