Right..."no gain, no pain." Not to mention NO GUTS
to try eliminating it by lawful means like "democratic
principles guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution."

Why would have to have the guts to try eliminating a regulation when

You've petitioned your government for change. Nobody stopped you. I'm
sure you've been disappointed a number of times in your life when you
petitioned government and the changes you desired just weren't
implemented. Other folks have desires and the ability to petition.

You wanted to buy into the old beliefs.

You didn't and are still on the sidelines.

You did it.

....and you didn't. There's been no "Extra right out of the box" despite
your boast.

Now you can have fun sneering at all who don't care
to buy that.

Yes, he can. I can. Everyone who expended the effort to obtain an
amateur radio license can. Your task, Mr. Anderson, is to learn to deal
with it.

You're a "somebody" in a radio hobby
activity! [applause, applause...] :-)

....and you are a nobody in amateur radio! [wilder applause] :-)

The ARRL is proud of you.

How would you know? You are no more involved in the ARRL than you are
in amateur radio.
