So...what? Is there some point here? The USA will do so as well, all
in good time. The incline of the slippery slope of our country's descent
into intellectual and ultimately economic poverty is increasing, and we're
picking up speed on our drop into the abyss. Hong Kong, Denmark, and
all the rest of the dumbed-down "No-Code" countries just got there before
us, that's all.

WHO CARES, HAM RADIO IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GLOIRIFIED CB SERVICE ANYMORE.

Oh stop whining. Move forward into the 21st century or drop dead,
whichever you prefer.

Then why are you still here? Do something worthwhile for Ham Radio
instead of whining and boohooing.

Oh give it a rest, roll. Everyone has heard your moaning and groaning
for years. Do something constructive. Stop whining. Get a life.

Get a life? Thanks anyway, but I've already got one. A very good life,
indeed. And one of the little things that makes it better is the ability to
fully enjoy my hobby as a radio amateur, complete with the ability to
use the Morse/CW mode. Sorry about your bad luck, OM.

Sooo, my desire not to have our society plummet down the slippery slope
of non-existant standards, be they educational, moral, social, or even those
related to amateur radio licensing. Apparently, all that is perfectly OK with
you, and you call yourself a "patriot?" Remove the "pat" and you're a lot
closer to the truth!

Now, THERE is what I call a persuasive argument -- NOT!!! Of course, as
no-coder arguments usually go, it is one of the more logical. Kind of
reminds me of the "Democratic" Party, who have, as their principle
motive for winning the 2004 Presidential Election, the visceral hatred of
President Bush just because he is conducting himself as a true patriot
in his efforts to secure our country from the threat of terrorism. Not a
single one of the '04 Democratic Presidential candidates (with the
possible exception of Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is now out of the race) has
or had any vision for his administration more original than raising Federal
taxes, expanding Federal government social programs, and subordinating
our national sovreignty to the United Nations in matters of International
security policy. All of which confirms my long-held opinion that no-coders
are mainly liberal, socialist, Communist sympathizers who hate America
and want to weaken us by reducing all standards in our society, thus
making us just another Third World nation. How charming.

You sure can babble on, rollo. Of course, you've had lots of practice.

Jeez, you actually made sense for a moment there, rollo. That is until
you swerved back onto your usual rant about "no-coders." If you could
put aside your irrational fear of, and hatred for anyone who doesn't
prostrate themselves at the feet of the great Morse God, you might be
on your way to becoming a real human being.
