They have to dumb it down so there is no child left behind.

Except the guy who came up with that idea - he got left behind on the
short bus.

Yup, I stopped at the Advanced and then the code requirements for Extra
were lifted. So there I stopped. Might do it anyways for the extra few KC
the license grants me.

Phony's can ignore. This question doesn't apply to no-codes.

I always liked the idea of the 13/20 wpm requirements because it did push us
to greater heights of achievment.

Some want to be Doctors and some want to be rice pickers. That should not
be taken away from us. In one country I recall, it was mandated that ALL
would be rice pickers at the barrel of an AK47 by sadistic nut jobs with a
grudge against achievers. Of course the result was 2 classes: The bullies
and the rice pickers. Perhaps the bullies had little regard for anything
but rice and violence.

Mastering the code and advancing in speed requires determination and control
of ones emotional state to allow the information to flow. This is very
difficult for beligerant people to do, so they complain, bitch and cajole
rather than just doing what needed to be done. As for the technical
requirements. Not enough. Even beligerant people can learn to field strip
a rifle.
