"Slow Code" wrote in message
... The way I understand our constitution, a man creates a debt to society with crime, once he pays this debt he is to have his rights restored; this keeps society from creating dangerous and dark forces through abuses of its' citizens. While I do believe special arguments can be made of the type of crime a criminal commits, child molestation, premeditated murder, rape, etc., in most instances the above should be followed. I think one clue is the statement in our constitution, paraphrased here, " ... endowed with unalienable rights by his creator ..." This is best seen when one applies thought and sees that any tampering with such rights immediately infringes upons ones rights to the "pursuit of happiness", freedom and access to those resources granted us by our creator. I am no attorney, however, I suspect that could only be made to work against felons who are incarcerated or on probation/parole. Still, the logic fails me of why you would ever revoke someones license who had been convicted of, say, a felony regarding bank fraud--felony drunk driving--manslaughter--etc. This type of logic, once again, demonstrates why I hold such a low esteem for some in amateur radio. Most likely, in all cases, if the criminal had spent more time in the hobby aspect of radio his desire to commit a crime would have been diminished! Best we help this criminals before society suffers, rather than punish them after the fact (and someone ends up without his/her property, or worse, dead!) JS |
