She's got a Ph.D, but not in human psychology or therapy.



The "D" stands for "doctor." One can be a doctor of mathematics, doctor
of chemistry, doctor of medicine, doctor of psychology, et cetera. All
can use the title "doctor." Heck, even a lawyers can use that title due
their degree being a Juris Doctor ("Doctor of Law").

I'm sure you called some of your professors "Doctor" and never gave
it a second thought.


I'd bet he didn't call them Doctor followed by their first name!

And the other thing is, at least with all the PhD's I work with, asking
any one of them to comment outside their field gets the answer prefaced
with a "well, it isn't my field of expertise" or something to that effect.

Dr Laura is shelling out "advice" that is not related to her field of
expertise.

My favorite is doctor of electrical engineering.

All can use the title "doctor."

Yes, they can. But most that I know do not *require* it, outside their field of
expertise.

Heck, even a lawyers can use that title due
their degree being a Juris Doctor ("Doctor of Law").

But they don't usually do that.

I'm sure you called some of your professors "Doctor" and never gave
it a second thought.

Sure - because they were functioning in their field of expertise.

I'd bet he didn't call them Doctor followed by their first name!

Not a one.

BINGO!

Heck, you can ask most Ph.D EEs about house wiring, and most of them will
preface their remarks that way, because it *isn't* their field of EE.

expertise.

Exactly!

Now one has to have an advanced degree in "Commonsensology" to be able
to advocate such progressive ideas as faithfullness to marriage vows, a
responsiblity to raise your children as a parent and not as their
buddy, and forgiveness of those who've offended you. So sad.

As I had said, those are ideas that she has right. But if she was
handing out advice as Laura Schlessinger, that would be cool. But I
thought she was a psychologist for quite a while when I listened to her.
Lots of people are "allowed" to think that.

And remember that she is very judgemental on her show. Judgemental
people are in turn judged.

Seems like Rev. Jim is working up to another Sermon on the
Antenna Mount...this time on Credentialism, a seeming necessity
for all to state anything about anything in this recreational
amateur radio policy newsgroup.

Lately we've all been treated to the rantings of an Antichrist-
wannabe (aka Doctor Strangeglove) who wants to ban all
religions. That goes farther than some broadcasting program
content and opinions thereof.

Apparently Rev. Jim is displeased that anyone has opinions
counter to his own ultraconservatism (keeping amateur radio
safe and happy with good old fashioned morse code). He
claims "authoritiy" by virtue of an old extra class amateur
license which, apparently, overrides the First Amendment of
the United States Constitution applicable to all other U.S.
citizens. [democratic principles in action in amateurism?]

Excuse me, I have to go meet my wife "on the streets." (the
street in front of her hairdresser's) Doctor Strangeglove thinks
I first met her "on the streets." Wierd, wired Doctor. He is
so cross...

OK, everyone back to the Entertainment Newsgroup and reviews
of Broadcasting Service program content...

No one here signs anything "Rev. Jim" except you, Lennie.

Who's "Antichrist-Wannabe" or "Dr. Strangelove"...???

No one here signs anything like that.

So far the ONLY person expressing any form of angst about having

I think it's so noble of you to have given her a place to stay and
out of the rain, Lennie. Bravo. And without any sex shared. Double
bravo.



Still on the 2-for-1 deal, Lennie?

Maybe Len *is* Rev. Jim. After all, he's been nocwtest, averyfine,
averyfineman, lenof21, lenover21, and probably several more we haven't
recognized yet.

Perhaps another alias of Len's?

More likely, they're Len's imaginary playmates.

Is there something wrong with wanting to keep amateur radio safe and happy? Len
seems to think there is. What does that tell you?

As for "ultraconservative" - that's not me at all.

New York New York - so nice they named it twice...
