I don’t get why people are so defensive of a guy who breaks rules using equipment he has a license for. Will people protest fines for Flying airplanes in restricted airspace’s? Protest fines for driving cars on in areas that are clearly prohibited? Radio equipment of that sort requires a license and that means one is responsible for being knowledgeable of regulations and respect the regulations.

- specialist 4y agoYup. I've been learning about James M. Buchanan, the Virginia School's "political economy", and their particular notions of "liberty". What they really advocate is freedom from consequences. Maximal individualism at the expense of the common good. As a Gen-X, my early exposure to right-libertarian notions was thru Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand, etc. So edgy, so attractive. Sign me up! I so wish young me had known about Buchanan, John Birch Society, etc. Would have saved myself a lot of time.
