The goverment of this land has turned (for the most part) the people of this land, into those waiting for a handout. The government has it's people so dependant upon them (for the most part) that people have forgotten how to think for themselves. We don't kill and process our own meat, we don't plow, sow nor reap our own harvest, while milk is no longer delvered, 1 in 1000 people (my guestimate) have never reached under a cow, for milk. No one does things for themselves, anymore. It seems to me, that the last group of folks that have ret/maintained the ability to think, are those of us who are creative enough to build stuff on our own. Not only homebrewing hams, but other hobbyists. The government has succeeded in 'dumbing down America', and for the most part, we're content with that. but then... what do we know? ;-) -- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] AMfone Website: http://www.amfone.net AM List Admin: Brian Sherrod/w5ami Geoff- However, there are always the few and proud like us who rebel and resist and do not accept this as the norm.
