(OT) : Democrat's Out-Sourcing "Hate America" To Canada !

Sorry John, do some reading for once as that is the reality of the Canadian system. You'll actually learn something if you do research yourself and not just listen to NPR and CNN. Now, on the other hand, if you live in the U.K., you'll still have healthcare through the end of the year, but if you are too old, they just let you die as it is not worth the expenditure to keep someone old alive even longer. But again, hey, your estate gets to keep the money! Come on, this isn't really John now is it? Hillary Clinton, is that you? John Barnard wrote: You are one delusional mofo! Lay off the Bush sauce and you'll be able to handle reality. JB Oh Brother! Reality check time: Why don't YOU read a bit about Medicare D? Aging baby boomers are about to be screwed in ways they couldn't even imagine. Insurance companies entirely control Congressional debate and actually write the rules. Most of Congress doesn't even READ what they're signing on to. O'Reilly, is that you? |

Elimination of CW is a loss in the number of ways we can communicatewithother.

Jeez, you've got a pathetic joke for an exam now with canned questions to memorize and no code to learn. Too bad you're not still in your mother's womb so you don't have to feed yourselves. Though you have deluded yourselves into believing you are "hams," you are hardly believable when you wear that title. The only reason you have been able to slip through into the dumbed-down requirements and some sort of fcc "license" sham is because your appliance manufacturers that make your rigs and the charlatans like the arrl are selling out the hobby so they can sell you things. It's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY and you no-coder idiots have fallen for it. As for traditional, genuine "hams, we may be from the "Stone Age," but once the dinosauers became extinct the pristine landscape took on pollution and overcrowding. You simpletons have all drank the Kool-Aid and cannot see that you are parties to the eventual elimination of ham radio. Thank God for "stone age hams," for at least there is someone still around that knows something about the avocation. Amen. dxAce Michigan USA "J. D. B." wrote in message ... John, Just get on digital modes. Don't worry about CW. Digital is where the fun is and the copy is much better. A buddy of mine in St. Louis and I experimented with low power and various digital modes last night on 40 meters. CW was marginal. The best was DominoEX with FEC - just about 100% all the time and it also has a second channel to display additional information. CW can be fun at times, but maybe it's not your thing. Let the stone-age hams continue with CW, and move up and on to the digital modes. MultiPSK, while a bit cluttered and ugly, is a great program you can use. MixW is cleaner looking and very good, but not as many capabilities in the program. Move on and start having fun.

Still can't find anybody slow enough for me to copy on the air. If I ever get good enough to use it, I'll try a few homebrew transmitter projects. I expect there are some technically competent people who might be interested in amateur radio, but have no interest in learning code. John Lighten up. There's room for everyone. I love CW but I have no illusions about it's ultimate capabilities. It's just FUN! Looking forward to experimenting with digital, too. I'd do more SSB if only I knew what to say. hihi John AB8WH |

: Sorry Blow Code, but you cannot turn back the hands of time. The 13 & 20 WPM tests are gone forever. And soon, the CW testing requirement will be eliminated completely. It's the will of the majority. It's evolution. You can whine, cry and carry on all you want about the CW testing requirement. It is going the way of the buggy whip, the Ford Model-T, dinosaurs, the carrier pigeons, and a host of other old, outdated, and unnecessary things of the past. Good Bye and Good Riddance. Spoken like a true appliance operator. If there is any crying and whining after CW is gone, it will be by phonies wondering why their bands sound like CB. SC |

But hey, your life savings will still be intact! Is socialized health care great or what? - At least in Canada you get to keep - your life savings if you get sick. I am a Canadian with serious chronic health problems and I have much more experience with the health system than I would like to have, I have come close being a silent key several times, I am sure that there are some who feel that is too bad that I was allowed to breed before my medical problems became obvious. In the minds of some I suppose that I have peed in the genetic pool. I have never heard of a Canadian hospital shutting down because the money did not last until fiscal year end. While there are some weaknesses in our system such as delays in elective procedures but when the sand was running out of the hour glass there was always a system to help me out. Here everyone can get insured, there is an option to opt out of medicare but who would? Think of the overhead that American doctors face having to deal with multiple insurance companies, each with different forms and procedures. Think of the people who can't get medical insurance no matter what the cost. Think of those who don't have because they can't afford it. And then there are those who exercise their right not have it. In a situation where people get treated but can't afford to pay, the rates for everyone else must go up to compensate. Canada is not perfect but it is a pretty nice place to live and we try to contribute as best we can. By the way, if I were an American I would vote republican but I am not a single issue voter so don't construe that to mean that I from the far right wing. Consider me a fiscal conservative with a social conscience. Interestingly, my wife is also a Canadian, she moved down here to the US just before we got married. She worked only part time in Canada. Aparantly, the health care is NOT universal, as many meds she needed she had to pay for out of her own pocket, and had to wait months for an MRI (She just had one here on one weeks notice). Yup, there are issues here too, but the Canadian system is far from perfect either. |

Universal means that everyone can participate it, it does not mean that it covers everything. I also have private insurance to cover drugs, dentistry, the surcharge for private hosptital rooms etc. I guess that I got really ticked off when the guy said that hospitals routinely close because they run out of money, that was bull and it really ticked me off.
