So...what? Is there some point here? The USA will do so as well, all
in good time. The incline of the slippery slope of our country's descent
into intellectual and ultimately economic poverty is increasing, and we're
picking up speed on our drop into the abyss. Hong Kong, Denmark, and
all the rest of the dumbed-down "No-Code" countries just got there before
us, that's all.

Oh give it a rest, roll. Everyone has heard your moaning and groaning
for years. Do something constructive. Stop whining. Get a life.

Filth:

Get a life? Thanks anyway, but I've already got one. A very good life,
indeed. And one of the little things that makes it better is the ability to
fully enjoy my hobby as a radio amateur, complete with the ability to
use the Morse/CW mode. Sorry about your bad luck, OM.

If you're not with us, You're against us.

Sooo, my desire not to have our society plummet down the slippery slope
of non-existant standards, be they educational, moral, social, or even those
related to amateur radio licensing. Apparently, all that is perfectly OK with
you, and you call yourself a "patriot?" Remove the "pat" and you're a lot
closer to the truth!
