You're making some assumptions about my attitude that are incorrect.
First, when I spoke of "We the People", I meant all Americans, not
just hams. The FCC rules should reflect what *all* Americans want,
not just we hams.
And when I spoke about "us", meaning hams, I did not mean "me" only.
I truly believe in democracy and in a democracy, I sometimes do not
get what "I" want. That's ok by me because I realize to do it the
other way (my wants first and only) would bring chaos. The ARRL BOD
should represent what all of us hams want, not just my desires.
Go back and plug those viewpoints into my previous post and I think
you and most people would agree.
But maybe not. And that's ok too.
