Must my answer confrom to liberal logic?

As you seem to believe, character does count.

So, Michael, please name one liberal (or "democrat") organization
that
promotes character in boys and yound men?

I know lots of Democrats that support the Boy Scouts, and lots of
independents.

Wunnerful. I know lots of people, too! That is NOT THE ISSUE!

Why was the BSA booed at the """DNC Convention""" while they brought
out the American Flad and recited the Pledge of Allegiance?

Why???

"""You take what SOME people who align themselves with the
Democrats do and apply that to the whole."""

ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!!! Every Democrat has to accept responsibility
for
that act.
Were they Mujahadeen???

And I take what happened at the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
____CONVENTION 0___ to represent the Democratic PARTY!!!

If you don't like it, find a new party.

"""That is a losing game, as there are segments of Republicans that
are

similarly fringy."""

Oh, my. People that believe in God. Wonder if Jews beieve in God?
Wonder if Palistinians believe in God? Wonder if Methodists believe
in
God? Wonder if Rev Jim believes in God?

It's just so awful that there are still luddites that believe in God.

NYT says "God is Dead!"

But we must have a Palestinian State because Allah wants it.

I wish you the very best of luck on that one, and I do hope that
you
succeed.

"""So it is okay to be corrupt as long as you are a Republican.
Good to
see where exactly you are coming from."""

WTF did that come from? Must be somekindof Al Franken spagmasm???
Wonder where Geneen Giraffala weighed in on that one???

Anyhow, you failed to name a single liberal youth organization
that promotes character. And I know why that is. It's so friggin
easy
to know why that is.

C'mon liberal Mike. Ask me why it's so easy to know that. C'mon,
ask
why!!!

Mike, I noticed that you failed to list any liberal organization that
was pro character building.

"Reply"

Oh, my! 2004 becoming 2005. My 10YO Cub Scouts/America son just got
an Eddie Bauer 0 deg sleeping bag. And he earned his just "readyman"
badge and knows the basics of first aid. Maybe someday he'll hike-in
and save your liberal ass.

I don't give a rat's patooie about your mindless little joust with
Coslo here but I do care about the Boy Scouts. Or I used to and I have
some insghts on the topic you don't have Burke. Which might explain a
few things which go on 'way over your head as usual.

My senior brother of two of 'em was the CEO of the local BSA Council
about five years ago and engineered the merger of our suburban Council,
the one we both grew up in, with the next-over failing big city
council. That noteworthy maneuver raised hackles galore out here in our
lilly white Rebublican WASP 'burbs of course but it saved what was left
of the broken city council, a seemingly impossible management coup
given the politics involved.

Which in turn got the attention of the mahouts who rule scouting at the
national level. He was forwith invited to join the national board of
directors. I asked him why he declined the invitation. I can't quote
his words directly but they went something like: "I have no interest in
trying to work with a bunch of Dallas 'silent majority' type
Bible-pounders hellbent on imposing their "visions" on scouting."

'Bye

The immediate purpose is to get Tom DeLay out of his ethics situation.

What has that to do with Amateur Radio Policy in the USA?

Did DeLay's name come up on Riley Hollingsworth's latest List?

Goes to the mindset of the administration in power.

Perhaps you'd like something more directly connected to FCC rules and
regulations for the amateur radio service:

Lenof21 previously wrote:

All licensees are perfectly legal to continue operating in
their grace period.

That's simply not true.

To quote FCC rules:

"97.21(b) A person whose amateur station license grant has expired may
apply to the FCC for renewal of the license grant
for another term during a 2 year filing grace period. The application
must be received at the address specified above prior to the end of the
grace period.
Unless and until the license grant is renewed, no privileges in this
Part are conferred."

Last sentence says it all: "Unless and until the license grant is
renewed, no privileges in this Part are conferred."

FCC amateur licenses have 10 year terms, and if a license is allowed to
expire without a renewal application being filed, the licensee *cannot*
legally operate until the license is renewed.

Do you agree or disagree, Len?

You also wrote:

There is no necessity (nor sense) to eliminate those in the
grace period from those in the normal 10-year license period from
any class totals.

Sure there is - their licenses are expired and they cannot operate.

If you want to include expired-but-in-the-grace-period licensees in the
totals, go right ahead. But be sure to indicate that you are doing so,
unless *you* want to "massage" the numbers.

Excellent! That they reversed that indictment rule is a surprise, but
face it, they were getting a huge black eye over this
