[R-390] [Fwd: Re: Why polished radios? CORRECTION]

[Robert Moses]

It is just you folks who live in such a wet climate that you have to 
'shoot until midnight' to keep your guns from corroding. Come to the 
arid southwest where you do not have to worry about such things (or 
about mowing a lawn unless you irrigate either). The only problems here 
are that optical detection tuning systems on modern sand state radios do 
not work reliably since it is so dusty that the dust interferes with the 
optical path and water is in short supply and property taxes tend to be 
high to support our socialist governments who work hard to keep wages 
low and jobs scarce while regulating EVERY minute detail of everyones life.
