NO! The sky is NOT falling!


You are getting very confused. I'm not the one that is panicking over
changes. I've already said several times that I'm am not worried about the
changes.

No Dee, "the people" are the gov't. Let me give you an example.


I've not said anything to the contrary. I've repeatedly said that society
(i.e. the people) find it necessary to have rules to insure the health of
the society.

No one in his or her right mind would ever trust any president,
representive, or group of them to decide whether an individual dies or not
(or any other group of bueraucrats either!) We would only allow citizens
to do that. It is called a jury and there are 12 of them to make sure
they get it right (yes, I know, there are still far too many mistakes and
DNA evidence has released a sizeable number from death row--perhaps with
DNA evidence we can increase our accuracy a bit.)

Well, the FCC is just like that. And we should never trust them to make a
really important decision for us. The FCC can only do its' job correctly
if all 350 million of us are looking over their shoulders and telling them
what to do. Trouble is, my president, senators and reps look a bit raggy
around the edges, even to the point of making me think they are corrupt
criminals. I am trusting they will get around to fix that soon ...
straight face

If someone is a lazy ass laying around trusting their gov't to do it for
them or for the other citizens, he or she is far from a great Amerian. A
great American is always active in making sure the peoples voice is heard.


I've never advocated that. Each person has a right to be heard. But you
forget that each person has their own opinion. Should your opinion have any
more weight than mine or vice versa?

What makes America great is everyones' right to free speech, activism,
protests, etc. It will all shake out in the end, any one mans/womans
opinion, or even any one group of men and women is unimportant in the much
larger picture.

In the final say, only the people have a right to place limits and they
only need to place limits to keep one from infringing on another, but you
already know that, our founding fathers documents could serve as no better
example, they need no "interpretation" on what anyone person thinks they
either are or are not--that is difficult enough.

It's already been pointed out to you that our founding fathers included the
Supreme Court for the very purpose of "interpreting" the Constitution.

Dee:

When I said, "NO! The sky is NOT falling!" I meant we have firmly decided
that! I caught that you were stepping away from other amateurs decrying the
death of ham radio due to changes ... it was satire and I see how it could
be taken much differently ...

I read over you text much too quickly and was quick to take a much different
spin on it that the one I see now.

Yes. The supreme courts whole reason for existence is to enforce the
constitution to the letter, you are, again, correct, strange no one is seems
more upset by the gross inability of it to have done so in recent decades
....

The crux is this, I see citizens playing much more into their self gov't.
Let me give you an example of just how much so:
ALL police officers and sheriffs should be drafted, and go through a "boot
camp." At the end of 12 weeks of boot, we press them into service for a
four year term. The pay scale is fair and adjusted for special cases. But,
we all accept this as our duty. With this one change we could just about
completely remove corruption and restore respect to law enforcement. Plus,
the added benefit would probably be an overall reduced cost to the tax
payer.

But, this is only one change in a sea of changes I would make. Many I see
are disenfranchised by gov't playing a mother/father role for them, this was
never meant to be. I don't need a president, senator or rep "with a plan",
I simply need them to be honest and upfront with the people, then represent
the peoples wishes--this seems almost opposite from what I am experiencing.
If I can trust 12 men with my life on a jury, then I can darn well trust 350
million governing ourselves beside me ...

JS

Hi All,
If you read the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the U.S.
Constitution) there are 2 distinct groups ie "The People" and "Congress" . I
paraphrase - Congess shall make no law regarding the peoples right to
..................... etc. etc.
