Fueled by empty-headed grandkids, obsessed hams' reluctant spouses and
nitwits, the
license has become nothing more than a meaningless memory exercise and
the simpletons have rushed
to take advantage of getting into ham radio now that they've made it
easy enough.

Thank you. FCC , ARRL.

There's still some knowledgeable guys left but they're being overrun by
morons.

I don't think an amateur license was ever meant to support any single
view, political affiliations/beliefs, clubs, events, activities, etc. --
other than the experimentation, use and enjoyment of radio.

All the license should require is that one is familiar with the rules
and proper operation of radio transmitting equipment ... end of story.

If you want to make anymore of it, you are just some type of criminal,
control freak or nutcase ...
