Or the VOA
You haven't ever traveled in the third world have you?

How many people on your street have HF? How many within 50 miles of you? If I want to rally 50 people or 100,000 people to action (this Wednesday) who I don't even know, how exactly do I do that via HF?
This is a thread concerning the control of communication during a crisis. Believe me, during the Green Revolution in Iran, HF was at the very, very bottom of the government's “gotta control” list.
If aliens attack and take out all of the infrastructure, I'll be thinking of you and your HF. But if Obama declares an emergency and cancels the November elections on Oct. 30th, you aren't on my priority list for fast response.
