(Brian) wrote in message . com... (Steve Robeson, K4CAP) wrote in message Perhaps because the other poster didn't make a lot of assinine assertions that are not substantiated by facts, Brain. The ARS has improved since 1984. That's plain for everyone to see. Then where does all this "Ham Radio Is Going To Hell" traffic come from, Brain? Mostly from trolls, you and Lennie. You may refer to "fact" in Websters to find out what they are, Brain...You DO seem to have a problem with the concept. Not at all. As Ronald Reagan said, "Facts are stupid things." I'd expect notning less from you, Brain...You're nothing if not consistent. Thanks. Steve, K4YZ Steve, not my fault that Ron said it, and I liked Ron. But his quote applied in your declaration that amateur radio has not improved since 1984. That is not fact. UNQUOTE. Sorry I missed this before! Brain, how in the WORLD did YOU come up with the assertion that I said that Amateur Radio has not improved since 1984...?!?! You really ARE the idiot I imagined! Just one more mangled episode of cranial flatulence on your part, Brain. I'm just sorry I missed it the first time, however it's also one more example of why I take great fun in sarcastically calling you "Brain". Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving...And by the way, when Mrs Brain says something like "It's time to carve the turkey", don't sweat it...she's talking about the bird on the table...not the one sitting next to her... Steve, K4YZ Hey Steve, you are quoting ME saying that: "The ARS has improved since 1984. That's plain for everyone to see." And that's plain for everyone to see. Happy Thanksgiving to you. I hope you are with your loved ones today and give thanks for what you have, and for the system of government that enables you to have it. God bless GW Bush, Ron Reagan, and the troops deployed to hotspots the around the world. The world is a better place because of them and we cannot lose the faith. I hope John Hinkley is eating institutionalized turkey cubes, canned gravy, and instant mashed potatos on this thanksgiving day (such as the meal I had in 1979), and that his parents have to come back tomorrow during normal visiting hours to see him. 73, Brian/N0iMD |

And to our service people - spending next Thanksgiving with their families at home. 73 de Jim, N2EY Jim, do you know how impossible your wish is? Brian, do you know how bad your English is? Oh, my. Oh, dear. A thing is either possible or impossible. And you are the judge of what is possible and what is impossible? A lot of things once considered "impossible" have become reality. Your Thanksgiving wish is impossible. Did wishing it make you feel better? Live with it. Are you making a wager? The wager being: "All US service people will be home with their families on Thanksgiving 2004." Just send the Red Lobster gift certificate to my callbook address. |

There are lots of others, including many who disagree with Mr. Bush. It's the methods, not the person. Well, I'm a foreigner in your country, but you can't deny that the economy boomed under Clinton and is now on it's knees. The "Clinton boom" was a result of the building economy from the previous administrations. The fall in the economy is a result of various economic issues that developed in the latter part of the Clinton administration and only began to be felt after he left office. I'm not blaming anyone mind you but the economy started tanking right after the change in administration BEFORE the whammy from 9/11 and the current administration hadn't yet changed anything. The economy as a whole takes time to react. You have to examine the several preceding years to find the causes not the current year. I'm not fond of the present government, but mainly for other reasons. Civil liberties and John Ashcroft, mostly. All in all, I can't really think of anything GW Bush has done domestically that is anything to shout about. Tax cuts for the rich. Deficit spending. I'm really trying to think of anything good (honestly), but nothing comes to mind. The tax cuts went to the people paying taxes. How can you give cuts to people who don't pay. As for the war, why open that can of worms? Yes, Saddam is/was a very bad guy. Do I beleive the reasons given for going to war? No. And yes, Blair went along with it, but I don't like him a lot either. ... but then I'm an anti-code test liberal, so what did you expect? However, I actually do think it was a nice gesture for Dubbya to go to Baghdad for Thanksgiving. Agree 100%. A leader shows his people that they are important. And that was the purpose of his trip. I'm sure this post will draw the usual 'love it or leave it' garbage from at least someone, but never mind. I can take it. Not from me that's for sure. We all have the right to work to make it better even if we don't agree on what "better" is. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

The economic policy of the Clinton presidency was what ??? Right, there was none. He was riding on the coat tails of Reagan/Bush one. Has everyone forgotten about 9/11? We are at war. Or has that little detail been forgotten also? It was not our choice to have some ragheads plow three jets into buildings, and one into the ground and kill nearly 3000 innocents. Some of which were MUSLIM. But it is our choice how to respond. If you think Sadam didn't have anything to do with it. Let me sell you a bridge in NYC. Dan/W4NTI |

Dan/W4NTI Just because I think he had nothing to do with it doesn't mean I'm in the market to buy the Brooklyn Bridge. Quite the reverse, in fact. It's a bad mistake to automatically assume that two bad guys who happen to have nominally the same religion and live in roughly the same region are in league together. They had their own agendas. It's just too easy to lump all arabs together, but the middlle East is just more complicated than that. |
