[BC] AM band and the rules........rant

[Robert Meuser]

I am an avid follower of current events. Read 5 newspapers (real ones 
that are actually printed on paper) every morning and in general follow 
the decline of our society. I also know the majority of code words that 
our politicians on both sides use to make you feel good about your self 
while they are selling you up the river. I have lived in enough 
countries to know a lot of what we are told here is a myth. I also 
confess to watching Lou Dobbs  :-)
