You are confusing the message with the messenger -- CB radio is not a freedom. The right to say what you will on it most certainly is. Taking it away would certainly "restrict the freedom OF communication". If CB radio is ever nixed (and I hope it isn't), you would still be free to communicate, just not via CB radio.

Now daddy Powell is ****ed at Stern. 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. You and I both know it comes down to legalized, large scale payola. _ Get this straight, Peter: You have freedoms, but those freedoms are limited Limited equals restricted. ....stay within context.... 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. And that's why the rights of citizens are defined in the Constitution.

No, the word "nuisance" is to be found nowhere in either of the recent record fines against Stern and BTLS (btls.com). It was just an example, and it wasn't even intended to be specific to radio. Radio is not the only venue for speech, as Howie has recently learned. Sirius, isn't it? You can drive a car -provided- you stay in 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 attained via what another may deem offensive or illegal speech. It's not a matter of degrees.

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. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

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. -- Vy 73 de Bert WA2SI FISTS #9384 QRP ARCI #11782 |

It wouldn't take "much" consideration at all.

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. "Peter" wrote in message ... "harvey" wrote in message ... 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? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydispl...bsection=world http://www.itv.com/news/index_1789720.html http://www.fathers-4-justice.org I wouldn't have liked to be the person who had to make the call to the queen...

"Steveo" wrote in message ... I looks right now. Your last post was way off so it was sorted out of place over here. No biggie. 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. Ah, it may have something to do with using your noose reader offline. I suppose we could start a debate on which time stamp news readers should sort by :~) That might be like coax length. :) |

... I did not suggest in my post that you were on ANY side. 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. "Peter" wrote in message ... 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 Could you show me where I refer to "the constitution"? I didn't think so, I refererred to some people believing in such freedoms. 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? Peter. |

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. 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." 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 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 call it yours?
