If you are suggesting that the laws governing


radio communications are a violation of the


right to free speech then you are WAY wrong


because that has already been thrown out in


both the courts -and- in this newsgroup.






Tell it to Howard Stern or Bubba the Love Sponge. Their recent RECORD
fines from the FCC are testament to the law restricting exactly what
speech may be broadcast and how screwed up the law actually is. A few
examples,,,, one radio station may use an offensive term, but another
radio station may not say the same thing,,,,,this dj can say this, but
that dj over there can't say it. It's ok to say this on late night
radio, but if you say it in the morning, we're going to fine
you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's screwed up so bad and Stern took Powell to task
for it the other day. Now daddy Powell is ****ed at Stern.



Get this straight, Peter: You have freedoms,


but those freedoms are limited



Limited equals restricted.

to the extent


that you don't violate the rights of others.




Freedom of speech will always be tested in the courts, thank God. What
you consider violating the rights of others, others may disagree. For
example, what may offend you may not offend another, especially where
speech and/or obscenity law is defined.



You have freedom of movement -provided-


you don't tresspass on someone else's


property. You have the freedom of speech


-provided- you don't cause a public nuisance.





No, the word "nuisance" is to be found nowhere in either of the recent
record fines against Stern and BTLS (btls.com).



You can drive a car -provided- you stay in


your own lane. Etc, etc.




..resulting in possible serious injury and/or death, none which can be
attained via what another may deem offensive or illegal speech.


Your freedoms,


including the freedom to communicate, are not
restricted except to the extent needed to


provide those same freedoms to everyone and
not violate the rights of others.




As noted above.

You are confusing the message with the messenger -- CB radio is not a
freedom. If CB radio is ever nixed (and I hope it isn't), you would
still be free to communicate, just not via CB radio.

Again, there's the difference between the message and messenger. There
is a similar confusion whenever a radio station decides not to play a
particular song for whatever reason. When that happens there is always
a crowd that whines about censorship. But if their cries had any
validity, every station would be forced to play every song from every
artist since the beginning of time just so some Perry Como fan doesn't
throw a fit.


Get this straight, Peter: You have freedoms,

speech and/or obscenity law is defined.



And that's why the rights of citizens are defined in the Constitution.
Yes, even the Constitution is subject to interpretation, but that's
the job of the judicial system. So far that system has done a pretty
good job. Not perfect, but pretty good.

learned.

your own lane. Etc, etc.




.resulting in possible serious injury and/or death,



.....and therefore violating the rights of someone else.


none which can be

It's not a matter of degrees. The right to free speech does not equate
to the right to life, or the right to vote, to freedom of religion, to
peaceably assemble, to keep and bear arms, etc. And most importantly,
the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


Your freedoms,


including the freedom to communicate, are not
restricted except to the extent needed to

As noted above.

Slightly OT, here's an interesting tidbit I read last night: It was
JFK who signed the bill permitting the FCC to levy fines for minor
violations without due process. The fines were $100 per violation with
a maximum of $500 (Popular Electronics, September 1962). I also read
that the distance rules were established for two reasons: First, the
Canadian hams were still using 11m; and second, to discourage the use
of CB radio as a method of international communication, which was a
big deal during the cold war. Well, the cold war is over, and the
internet is crossing the communication barriers between borders much
more than CB ever could. It's time the FCC took a second look at that
rule.

It's a matter of government enforcement of current moral standards to
public venues. Non-public venues are wide open to free speech, as
cable TV and the internet prove millions of times each day. And while
the internet and cable TV may be considered to be public venues by
some, the broadcast stations have, and will always have, a much
broader public domain simply because they are not subscriber-based
services.

You forget that there was/is an ITU requirement that "international"

Morse Code. That was a primary reason why long distance contacts were
prohibited on CB.

Hi Dave,

The ITU treaty agreement applied to the amateur radio, not the CB. I found
this out when Alan Dixon petitioned the FCC to drop the 155.3 mi. rule,
RM-9807. Which leads me to...

Over the past few mos., every candidate/incumbent for public office has sent
a campaign flyer of some sort and we've all had out mailboxes filled with
this stuff. One of the best things we can do for the CB is to set up a form
letter asking said candidate/incumbent to "inquire" about dropping the 155.3
mi. limit for the CB radio service and why the FCC acknowledged that the
majority of CBers were in favor of this yet chose to cater to a few private
interest groups.

Simply fill in the name and address and send this to every
candidate/incumbent who sends you a flyer. All that's really needed is for
them to make a casual inquiry. Having now been somewhat involved with
lobbying and witnessing how these "inquiries" are generated, I can say with
some certainty that ten (Yep, just 10.) letters usually warrants a casual
phone call or letter.

Try researching how the amateur radio vanity call program came into
existence...just a letter to the right desk (Non-FCC) after having an
official RM-petition turned down. It's an amusing story in any case and
demonstrates what can be accomplished if more than a few people get of their
duffs and just make an effort.

As it was explained to me some time ago, the ITU requirement covered
ALL personal two-way radio services (Including ham, CB, land mobile,
maritime etc.) This was even given as one reason why the FCC was not
willing to eliminate the 150 mile limit for CB. They basically "passed
the buck" by stating that they were prevented by international law
from making a change which would allow the CB service to have contacts
which could be international. If that's no longer correct, there there
is really no reason to keep the 155 mile limit.

With all the really major issues surrounding this year's campaign, I
doubt if something so relatively trivial in nature would be given much
consideration.

That's what was told to me at first too, until Alan enlightened me and the
difference between the amateur radio vs. land mobile service as they relate
to the ITU was clarified. (No pun intended.)

That's the beauty of it, Dave. It wouldn't take "much" consideration at all.
BTW, when an elected official receives more than nine letters/calls
regarding ANY issue, it ceases to be "trivial in nature"...that, from the
horses mouth. Remember, all that's needed is a casual inquiry. Did you check
out the origins of the amateur vanity call program?

Hi Twisty.




Yo' Brain!

The problem with some people is that, in spite


of having two eyes, two ears - but just one


mouth - they still use their yapper more than


their ears, eyes, and brains put together. Don't
get me wrong, I'm not saying they don't have a
brain or that it doesn't work... but it doesn't


matter how good the engine is or much you


rev it if you have left the gearbox in neutral.


I NEVER said I agree with any of those


opinions, just that they exist among some


people - different people have different


outlooks on life. It must therefor fair to say that
arguing with me that those opinions are not


valid is about as much use as farting into a


wind tunnel.



Not sure what post you are replying to, but my reply was regarding the
analogy of driving a car. I certainly was never attempting to convey
that you agreed or disgreed with any of the above.



If they want to argue that those opinions do


not exist, that everyone believes in the same


notion of right and wrong, then that's


different... then either everyone on the group


is a Keyclown or there are no Keyclowns.


Either way, they can retire from the group in


the safe knowledge that we all agree.


You know, Twisty, my Son has recently hit


*that* age. You know the age, where they


suddeny find any taboo subject to be either


cool or downright funny.


At that age, swearing is great fun and anyone


they don't like has to be "gay". If someone who
is accused of being gay touches something,


that object becomes "full of gayness". Touch


it, and you will become gay. At that age, they


have the ultimate get out clause for any


situation that they wish to avoid...



I remember those days. Went through them a few times.

=A0
=A0=A0=A0"Could you go to the shop for me, Son?"


=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"Going to the shop is gay!!"


=A0=A0=A0=A0"Time to go to school, Son"

=A0
=A0=A0=A0"School is gay!!"

=A0
=A0=A0=A0"You can go out to play when you have done
your homework" =A0 "Homework is gay"




Yea,,,what I experienced was pretty muh the same thing. I've heard the
"gay" term from the boys and "pathetic" from the girls, but as far as
overuse went, the girls won hands down. While the boys may say "That
player is really gay on their team",,,the girls would say "Like, that
gay player, on that, like, gay team, is like, really gay."



Unfortunately, some people clearly never get


beyond that stage - they are destined live their
lives with the mentality of a child.

=A0=A0



Agreed. It's the Sluggo Syndrome. Maturation ceases prematurely for
whatever reason.


=A0=A0"It's getting late, Dad, time for you to get back
to the retirement home" =A0 "The retirement


home is gay!!"


Regards,


Peter.




Had a dream about dxing across the big pond last night....must be time
to dust off the equipment after hardly being touched all summer. I have
a few things to do, but I'm hoping to be in tip-top radio shape by
Christmas. Freakin' hurricane Jean put some water where I didn't want it
and I got to replacing and shoring up some things and you know how that
goes..ended up redoing just about everything.
Peace.

I can only surmise you believe you have rights in this issue the same as
others believe they have the right to drive a car.



Please go back to the parts you snipped, AND READ THEM.
Where do I say that I believe I have such rights, or that I believe in
certain freedoms?

I note that, although I refer to some people being "pro-legal", you do not
accuse me of referring to myself at that point.

I get the idea that you select a certain part and twist it to mean something
different, so that you can feel the need to argue over something.
To back up your argument, you take PART of a sentence totally out of context

Post snipped for brevity...
against laws restricting freedom of communications


"freedom of communications" only pertains to verbal communications
not radio or TV ect.
I can only surmise you believe you have rights in this issue the same as
others believe they have the right to drive a car.



Please go back to the parts you snipped, AND READ THEM.
Where do I say that I believe I have such rights, or that I believe in
certain freedoms?

I note that, although I refer to some people being "pro-legal", you do not
accuse me of referring to myself at that point.

I get the idea that you select a certain part and twist it to mean

something
different, so that you can feel the need to argue over something.
To back up your argument, you take PART of a sentence totally out of

context
to use as a suggestion that I am on a certain side.


Peter.


OK, here is the entire post. I only snipped it because it was the only part
I felt a need to respond to. I still stand behind my original post that
transmitting on C.B. is not a right but a privilege, just like driving a
car. It is not a right under the constitution it is a privilege.
I did not suggest in my post that you were on ANY side. You read that into
it YOURSELF.

ok after a few monhts of reading here and some digging, my assumptions

are
thus:
keyclowns:

snip


The theory is that Keyclowns are illegal CBers, and Antikeyclowns
those who oppose illegal CB. However, that is all just a cover for
the truth. Some people are just hell bent against CB and those
who use it - as demonstrated by their inability to post CB related
messages, and their use of the term "keyclown" being aimed at anyone
they dislike - without any proof of any kind that they use any
illegal CB of any kind.

The homosexual hate messages are just the physical manifestation
of the mental problems within the minds of those who hate some
people so much that they will chase them around trying to anoy them.
Rather than trying to make their own lives better and more enjoyable,
they wish to make other people as unhappy and mentally unwell as
themselves.

Although they try to mask what they are with some claim to respect
for the law, they are often unmasked as their own criminal activities
or "brushes" with the FCC or police are made public.

That being said, there are some on this group who are pro-legal, some
who are against laws restricting freedom of communications, and others
who walk the line between - believing that the law is often an ass, and
may not always be technically correct.


This is the part in which you make reference to "freedom of communication".
If you can show me where in the constitution that mentions C.B. radio or any
court decisions upholding freedom of communication by way of C.B. radio, I
will retract my statement and issue an apology.

For example, distance rules. In America, you have a "No DX" rule. If
you do not reply to a signal, does that mean it did not go over that
distance? This law is often seen as a technically unsound and legally
unenforceable law.

Here in the UK, when CB was first legalized, our Government opted to
restrict distance with tech spec rather than trust to some "no DX"
rule. What they did was to put in rules regarding antenna length and
height from the ground.
Those who stuck within the law were radiating 4 Watts of RF at a height
well below that of radio and TV equipment, and often caused interference.
It was soon worked out that, to avoid harmful interference and grief, the
way to go was NOT what the law said. The rule was broken everywhere, and
never enforced. Eventually, the government saw their error, removed the
height rule and relaxed the length rule, allowing us bigger homebase
antennas at any height within local planning rules.

Some say that stupid laws often needs a hard push before they will be
changed, and illegal action becomes necessary - would the RA have removed
that height rule if CBers had not proved it wrong by their illegal use?
Would the UK Government even be considering changing outdated and

extremely
sexist family law if it was not for the illegal actions of Batman and

Robin?

I wouldn't have liked to be the person who had to make the call to the

your ledge, and he's asking to speak to you."
Aparently she watched it on TV.

Not sure what post you are replying to, but my reply was regarding the
analogy of driving a car. I certainly was never attempting to convey
that you agreed or disgreed with any of the above.



I was referring to other people, who seemed to reply to my post as if I was
claiming some desire to break laws.


Had a dream about dxing across the big pond last night....must be time
to dust off the equipment after hardly being touched all summer. I have
a few things to do, but I'm hoping to be in tip-top radio shape by
Christmas. Freakin' hurricane Jean put some water where I didn't want it
and I got to replacing and shoring up some things and you know how that
goes..ended up redoing just about everything.

Ah, you know how it is,,the two who delude themselves with imagined Phd
status are ready to tell you all about yourself, for no charge, on the
internet, in a semi-obscure cb group. You can't buy this sort of
entertainment without contributing to the Jim Henson Memorial Fund.

Brrrr...making me shiver just thinking about it. We just shut the A/C
off not long ago....camping and hunting season is here (finally). From
this month through March,,,,nothing is finer than this here latitude and
longitude. While the great white north shivers, I'm doing the Jimmy

Every now and then my systems seem to lose time or go back to 1997...
causing OE to delete messages in the cache.

I had noticed that my time zone appears to be off, it should now be
corrected, but my clock appears to be about right. If you are looking at
the two time stamps, the ISP is stampint the time that the message goes
through their server.

Newsreaders tend to sort by the time the message was typed rather than
posting time as given by the NNTP server.
Generally, I go through posts just before sending them. That time I did not
post them immediately, so it showed a difference between the creation and
posting time stamps.

I suppose we could start a debate on which time stamp news readers should
sort by :~)

If you agree that I am not taking any sides, why argue the validity of such
views? Why did you only feel it necessary to argue against one side,
without consideration that I mentioned all sides?
I don't see any "keyclowns" whining about my mention of the pro-legal
issues.

The OP never asked what the law said, they referred to the arguments here
and the "gay" posts... my post was a reply to that issue, not some attempt
to argue against pro-legal or keyclown beliefs.
However, if you feel offended in some way, I suspect you may belong to the
other group - those who never grew up and still act like children with "gay"
remarks.
Such people are only using the "pro-legal" label as a cover for the fact
that they are trolls. They don't really care about those issues, they just
like filling the group with angry posts. They make the term "legal CB" seem
like a dirty word, as if anyone who is pro-legal has to be a ****.
If they felt that it would get more arguments going, they would happily take
the "keyclown" label and argue that side.

The problem is that some people continue to be baited by those trolls, when
killfiling them would be the best option.

I decided to humour you, and look up the words in my English dictionary and
there is no mention of the constitution or court actions... what a surprise.
So, I did a Google search on "frredom of communications"...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...tnG=Goog le+S
earch
Great list of sites, but no links to the constitution... nothing to suggest
that the term is defined by the constitution or an American court.

So I decided to look up the constitution...
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitut...ion.table.html
Maybe you could show me the part which refers to freedom of communications,
or defines English language. While you are at it, maybe you can show the
part which says that people cannot believe that some things should be
different... maybe a court case showing that you are a criminal just for
having a different idea of what is right.
If so, someone had better arrest Arnie and his supporters for holding
beliefs contrary to Article 2...
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitut...articleii.html

Can you show how that constitition applies to me? Remember, this is
"rec.radio.cb"... not "usa.radio.cb".
Maybe you think that anything not labeled as belonging to a specific nation
automatically belongs to America. Is this not how many criminals think, if
it is not clearly marked as belonging to someone, you can freely take it and
call it yours?

How about a case from the US Supreme Court?

"Freedom of the press may protect criticism and agitation for
modification or repeal of laws, but it does not extend to protection
of him who counsels and encourages the violation of the law as it
exists. The Constitution was adopted to preserve our Government, not
to serve as a protecting screen for those who while claiming its
privileges seek to destroy it."

What does the executive branch have to do with this discussion?


Can you show how that constitition applies to me? Remember, this is
"rec.radio.cb"... not "usa.radio.cb".



The philosophies between our countries are not so very different, and
neither are the laws.


Maybe you think that anything not labeled as belonging to a specific nation
automatically belongs to America. Is this not how many criminals think, if
it is not clearly marked as belonging to someone, you can freely take it and

Despite the fact that the vast majority of users on this newsgroup are
in the US, who (besides yourself) has suggested that this newsgroup is
-limited- to the US?
