I don't expect you to understand the dynamics of the local CB

No different than anyone else on the band back then.


in the form of a

then. That should explain everything. I knew way more about radio
back then than my maturity level could control.


And I thought -I- was arrogant.

And you would be correct.

Coming from someone who voted for Bush, that doesn't mean much.

You voted for him too, Frank.


No I didn't. Not in 2000 and not in 2004. I did support him after the
first election mainly because I was supporting his office. I still
support the office, just not the man.


Any vote for Nader, was one less vote
for the waffle king.


That's a propaganda tactic first used by both sides when Perot was an
unknown variable.

Actually there was a lot of truth in it. Perot syphoned quite a few
votes away from Bush 1. Heck I almost voted for him. His straight up
non-nonsense business approach to the economy was refreshing and
resonated with fiscal conservatives.

The reverse can be applied to Nader. He appeals to the hard core left,
who, for whatever reason don't think the democratic party has gotten
liberal enough (Chilling thought). It's a fairly safe bet that if
Nader had not been on the ticket that MOST of his votes would have
probably gone to Kerry.

Since Nader did not make as big of a splash as Perot did, his total
effect on the eventual election outcome is speculative. But to deny
that there was any effect is myopic.


Let me make this perfectly clear: A vote for anybody
that isn't an ass or an elephant is a vote against both those parties.

One party more than the other depending on which political ideology of
the third party who manages to rise up out of the noise floor of write
in status.


And to lay blame on people who voted third-party is a pretentious
crock of ****.

To deny the influence of those third party vote syphoners is equally
ludicrous.


Don't believe me? Just wait until the next election for
WA governor, when the Republicans are going to use the same bull****
excuse claiming it was the third-party candidates that stole their
victory.

No, it was clever democratic operatives who (after a few recounts)
managed to manufacture enough extra votes to swing the election their
way.

Where's your cry of voter fraud there Frank?


The best part is, you knew Ralphie had a snow
balls chance in hell of being elected. Was Nader even on the ballot,
or did you have to write him in?


He was most certainly on the ballot, as were the candidates for the
Green and Libertarian parties, and a few others.

Nader was denied a place on the ballot in Pa. He didn't have enough
legitimate petitioners. Although the Libertarian candidate, Badnarick,
managed to make it....


This country shouldn't be limited to two political parties, so I don't
vote for either of them -regardless- of who I think is going to win.

So you are the "anti-voter"?


As the saying goes, "It's better to light a single candle than to sit
and curse the darkness".


There's also a saying about standing in the middle of a crowded
highway......


Don't get me wrong, the whole principle of a democratic government
should embrace as many political candidates as they can. Third (and
4th) parties are a good thing. But in all practicality, they are alone
in a sea of red and blue. Even if a third party candidate were to win
the office of president, they'd be opposed by both sides of congress.

And that's really the catch 22. Many people contemplate their votes.
They may like what a 3rd party candidates says, but realizes that they
stand little chance of winning. So the question becomes, should they
vote for someone who they ideologically agree with the most, or the
candidate who somewhat agrees with you, but who has a better chance of
actually winning?

Is it better to completely lose your chance to influence the direction
of this country or is it better to at least get SOME of your political
views represented?

That is the voter conundrum.

That's what the Republicans said when they sued to make sure Ralph got on

If a third-party candidate was expected to take votes from the
Republicans you can bet that the roles would be reversed.

And they were in '92.........

The two big
parties will do whatever they think will get them the votes, even if
it means supressing a vote for a third-party candidate.

You acknowledge this, yet you tried to deny that third party
candidates had any effect on the outcome of the election.


The only thing
this proves is that neither one of the parties have any interest in
free and open elections, which is what I have been saying all along,
and also why I don't vote for either of them.

So which is it then Frank? Do third party candidates shift votes away
from "the big 2" or not?

Apparently, that is a an argument you are having with yourself.

No, you are trying to claim that there are no illegal operators on 6,
based on your rejection to my claim that what I can hear on almost a
daily basis is in fact illegal.


I'm sure some of them are illegal, but my surity is not fact.

Why not? Are you claiming that empirical observation is not
sufficient? Are you now promoting the concept that if you are not
"right there" and personally witnessed an illegal transmission that
you can't factually determine that it was what it was?

Is your zeal to trounce me over my opposing political views blinding
your objectivity with regard to radio issues, which you have far
better knowledge of?


Your personal feelings are not "facts".

No but my trained observations skills can be considered as strong
evidence to the positive.


Trained observation skills = Tarot cards.

So, you're telling me that you can't listen to a channel and pick out
who the most blatant illegal operators are simply by the sound of
their rigs, and by the splatter they produce? Would it help you to
know that a spectrum analyzer connected to the I.F. of a receiver
confirmed my initial observation?

I never claimed to be able to make a quantitative evaluation, only a
determination that the transmissions were illegal.


Making a personal opinion that "channel 6 harbors the dregs of society"

Yes, that part is my personal opinion.


Why is -this- your personal opinion and not fact?

Because it is simply my opinion. What constitutes a "dreg" is
subjective.


What happened to your "trained observation skills"?

They are limited to technical evaluations of radio signals, which is
NOT subjective.


and claiming it is nothing short of empiracle evidence that illegalities
occur is jovial.

That you once again think that you can somehow claim that these
illegal operators do not exist is ludicrous.


Nobody suggested that illegal operators don't exist. The question is
your standard of proof, that what you claim to be illegal
transmissions are illegal IN FACT, not in your opinion or belief.

If you hear a loud noise and turn around to see a souped up car
buzzing down the road at a high rate of speed, far above the posted
speed limit for that road, would you not be able to determine as a
fact that the car was being operated illegally?

No, you could not determine just how fast the car was traveling, but
you could easily tell from the excessive noise, and the rate of speed
as compared to the other (legal) cars, that this one was illegal.

If you are attempting to discount empirical observation as an invalid
method to determining facts, then there are a whole lot of scientists
who will be sorely disappointed. Starting with paleontologists all the
way to astronomers.


We don't agree politically Frank. That much is true. But don't let
that one facet taint your objectivity in other subjects.

No such animal those numbers are for tube use only

1 indicating that the tube does not draw any grid current, and 2
indicates that the grid voltage is above 0 volts and a positive grid

Your personal feelings are not facts, despite how many times you invoke

You said

`channel 6, which is notorious for harboring

power, is all the "evidence" I need, to

determine that the station in question is in fact,
llegal."



Once again, your personal feelings are not facts. That illegal operation
occurs on such a channel was never contested by myself, despite your
deperate attempt at trying to say it was. I merely claimed your ersonal
feelings cited above are in no manner "evidence".
The FCC knows the reputation of channel 6 also, only they have protocol
to determine if someone is breaking the law, not personal feelings they
refer to as "empirical evidence" as you do.
Your personal feelings are not "facts".

No,,,it can not. It is personal testimony to be taken into
consideration. It is intangible and can not be entered as evidence, only
supporting testimony. Huge difference where the law is concerned, but
with your demonstrated hate and disdain for the law and your fellow
hammie and cb operators, it's crystal clear you have no clue of the law
that pertains and governs your chosen hobby. You demonstrated this when
you held roger beeps and echo illegal on cb because you "couldn't find a
rule that permitted them".



Yes, that part is my personal opinion.

See what you can learn when you are force fed? At the beginning of this
thread, you claimed it was fact, now, after proper instruction, you
admit it is "personal opinion". Good show.
