[AMRadio] vintage amateur radio station

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Larry,

I appreciate your comments, but I still think that THE  big difference twixt "us" & "them" is that---despite our passion for radio---we can still function in society as a whole, i.e. we have social skills, we can read the body language of others, and in general have a feel as to the "decorum" of any situation that might arise before us involving other people...

I see a LOT of kids to-day, however, who seemingly have lost that ability---too many video games, stay-at-home computering, communication sight unseen through gadgets, etc. They don't know how to fit in, socially...they're stunted in their development that way. How they'll ever be employable in a multi-tasking world that demands a modicum of social skills is beyond me---probably beyond their ability to reside anywhere beyond Mom & Dad's basement, too!
