Okay, here's the kicker.
On Friday Sept. 1st I recvd an EMail from the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security,
Federal Emergency Management Agency. You see, I have DEEP experience on a
piece of communications gear that few others around the nation have. In
addition, I have spent 15 years of my life working with 2.7-13.2 GHz full
duplex microwave gear mounted in large vans. I've put up 'the stick'( a 30
foot mast ) in howling storms, in water up to the axles, nestled between two
moaning Onan Gensets to allow 2 way video and multiband audio and data
streams to be shared, and I have made the shots work. This kind of knowhow
and experience is hard to find. I responded IMMEDIATELY: I told the Family
good bye, and packed up my gear ( 2 racks full...), staged it all at my
front door, and began waiting for the callback, and the transport to the
staging area.

And here I am 11 days later STILL waiting for the call. I did recieve a
second EMail  Fri. the 9th: I would LOVE to share the details with you so
that you might gather a clue or two, but....well it IS DHS/FEMA bidness, and
they don't cotton to sharing their internal communications.

So I spent my time ( cell and pager at the ready, able to deploy in 15
minutes ) helping out at the Reliant Park clusterfuck. I wish you had been
there to help disadvantaged people  ( who don't know a whole lot about
computers ) apply for FEMA assistance, and search the various sites created
to allow them to find their families, loved ones, children.........but I
didn't see 'wrcowan-HAL-PC' on any name tags around me.....
It has been a heartbreaking week.

Punchline is I am PISSED at the political footdragging ( not the
departmental or Ops )
that stymied the rollout of gear that would have streamlined field
communications, and maybe have saved a few lives.

So when you popped up and popped off on any number of subjects that you
haven't got the foggiest clue about, I vented my frustrations at you. And
rightly so. It is the apologists, sycophants, spinners, ignoramouses, and
disinfo agents like you that have allowed a criminal and incompetant junta
to continue fooling all of the people some of the time, and some of the
people all of the time.

As to demonstrated utter inability to apply both common sense and
comprehension skills, you have repeatedly proven that you are the poster
child for Freeper cluelessness. You are the arm-chair Major of the 'all of
the time' contingent.

The 'game' is just starting: don't even begin to claim victory when you
don't even know where the court is......
