No, not a troll that lies or is ignorant. Just a dumb blonde and a techno mage that are ignorant. haha
No, Justa, that’s NOT what this is about. What it is about though is understanding that - let me give you a quick scenario - the State of Mass has a nuclear device detonated somewhere, say around Boston.
The Internet is going to be GONE. No computers will work, radio and television stations will be off the air. The government is in disarray trying to determine what happened. The military units there aren’t on duty and have to be called in (give them a few hours).
In the mean time the Emergency Operations Center in the area will call up — not the Marines, but the Hams. Because most of the hams already KNOW about the blast, they are going to be on their way, without anyone having to get in touch with them. /shrug.
It will be a cold day in hell perhaps if that scenario occurs, but if it occurs, the hams will both be needed and be there.
Actually, I understood and appreciated exactly what this was about, but please allow me to explain something to you. When you attack each and every person who posts something that does not meet with your exacting approval, the thread quickly turns into another animal and the original point is lost in the noise.
You've certainly been around here long enough to know that some folks are going to disagree with you or miss your intended point, and you certainly can't control the thread once posted. FWIW.
While I am certainly no Romney supporter in the first place, this information was useful as another example of how inappropriate he is as a candidate for POTUS. Would I have totally rejected Romney based on this information alone? Probably not. Romney's ignorance of the importance of AHRO's is not going to bring down the system.
