Well, you are just ONE BIG argument for more control.

No, I'm for reasonable control for the greater public good. At least
until people (and your examples aren't helping me to believe it) can
demonstrate that they can handle the responsibility alone. So far, in
every example, less regulation leads to chaos.

The least gov't is the best gov't,

To an extent, I agree. But a total absence of rules and laws is an
extreme that I cannot support.


400 million people need the radio spectrum more than a
handful of hams and the public servants we have hired to the people
business.

Why do 400 million people "need" radio spectrum? What spectrum "needs"
are not currently being addressed?

Ham radio is not an exclusive club. ANY one of those "400 million" are
welcome to join, provided they agree to follow the rules.
