I love pizza but hate tomatoes, cheese, and garlic. Yet combine them into a pizza and the result is entirely different. No one can tell how a cake will taste simply from reading the ingredients on a box. You can evaluate its nutritional content but not its taste. So while there are some things that do not need to be experienced to evaluate them, there are other things that do. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

Clint KB5ZHT No my analogy is quite correct. To determine the worth of pizza, you must eat to see if it is a food worth your bother. Knowing the ingredients will not tell you that. Watching other people eat one will not tell you that. Same with Morse code. Reading about past and present usage, looking at the table of dots and dashes, and watching other people operate, etc will not tell you whether you like it. It will only tell you what it is and what it is made of. Until you experience using the code for yourself (i.e. eating the pizza for yourself), it is impossible to tell whether you will like it.

Knowing the ingredients will not tell you that. here's a more accurate anology.... "You can't possibly know anything about pizza, and i'm telling you that it's an important staple to you diet. Your opinion means nothing; I am now pointing the gun of licenseing system at your head and ORDERING you to take a bite of the pizza, I am not worried one bit about what the facts are or what the market wants... I am going to see to it that everybody is force fed pizza whether they like it or not." Clint KB5ZHT |

I and other parents that I know have always required our children to eat foods that are good for them whether they liked them or not. My children have always been required to eat what was served whether they liked it or not. Children were not allowed to dictate the menu. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

You are stunting your kids emotional growth and forcing them to do something they don't want to. NO one should be forced to do something they don't want to be it Morse Code or eating foods that are good for them. - end of being facetious.

Man, this keeps getting better and better.... "Dee D. Flint" wrote I and other parents that I know have always required our children to eat foods that are good for them whether they liked them or not. My children have always been required to eat what was served whether they liked it or not. Children were not allowed to dictate the menu. This, on top of Roll's admissions, couldn't make the PCTA's position and attitude any plainer, to even a casual observer. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
