Mike:
Yanno, back in the horse and buggy days--when the horse was king--same
thing--some waited with their horses for other to come to their senses
and get rid of their autos... it never happened...
I think this is very much the same where those so religiously and
historically tied to the past and what has always been will remain blind
to the fact that change is inevitable...
I know the question is not "if it will happen?" but rather, "how long is
this going to take?"
I feel like I am back at Kitty Hawk saying, "Now it is only a matter of
time, men WILL FLY THE EARTH AS EAGLES!" grin

Im convinced that events in the future will prove us right. Today we
have a "bloat the numbers at any cost" game which is doomed to
backfire
eventually. The big question is how badly it will backfire and how
much
damage will have been be done before it happens. The history of this
country over last couple decades is chock full of eamples of backing
away from failed giveaways. It's only a matter of time until ham
radio
gets it's turn.
The "bloat the numbers at any cost" will backfire for the simple
reason that too many with no real interest will get in and then drop
out.
Easy one Dee, cuz I think that is just what happened recently!
Then we will see once again a decline in numbers that will panic
people just as the relatively small drop off from the peak is
panicing people now.
The ability of middle aged and older men to become incredibly agitated
and angry about trivial things.
