Two Way Radio Services- source:http://www.gencom2way.com/faq.htm#5

What kind of range can I expect?

Systems can range from in-building coverage only
to wide area coverage trunking systems capable of reaching multiple states.

While direct unit to unit range is dependent on local topography, portable units can expect 1-2 mile direct range, and mobiles can expect 10-25 miles direct. The addition of a base station will enable increased mobile/portable range to the base station depending on location and antenna height.

Why do we not utilize a two way radio system with a wide range and home base in these areas?

It’s been reported all communications were down? Cell phones go down as soon as electric is lost, unless a few towers have generators to keep the “tower room” cool. Then, of course those towers get over loaded.

I just doesn’t make sense that 2-ways aren’t utilized in these areas at all times, with towers out of harms way. The technology is out there, why don’t they use it?

But they’re so surprised none of us show them deference now.

Put “failure” into Google and see what’s at the top, cons. That’s all you need to know. Your day is done.

Why Levee Breaches In New Orleans Were Late-Breaking News By JOE HAGAN and JOSEPH T. HALLINAN

That’s why leaders have agencies like FEMA (and DHS now) and NOAA (and its National Weather Service) and USACE and state and local officials (elected or otherwise) who are ideally immediately informed of the latest situations on the ground: so that those with the resources and authority might coordinate efforts quickly and appropriately.

Kevin D. Korenthal, whatever. If you can’t or won’t comprehend what is handed to you on a silver platter with hyperlinks galore, then believe what you want. Believe that I’m “hating” and not basing my unemotional conclusions on facts. That’s fine. Go team.

Here’s a few “facts” that you may be unaware of, but which form a backdrop for my commentary on the “relaxed” quote and which will tie some loose ends together and suggest an alternative and, I am sorry to say, fairly horrific interpretation of that remark. It will strike most people as completely REPULSIVE, but after the nausea passes, it will make a lot of things that don’t make sense fit into a pattern that is consistent with the behaviors that we as a nation have witnessed.

I’m not going to even reference 9/11–let’s just set that aside for a moment.

For those who were horrified by Abu Ghraiv and could not understand why any military men would engage in such awful behavior..

…for those who cannot understand why someone would bomb innocent civilians and seem unmoved by their horrifying deaths as well as the devastating injuries suffered by soldiers being attacked with IEDs

…for those who cannot understand why the notion of “large numbers” of people being starved to death, dehydrated into death or drowned through inaction and cannot understand the inaction or some of the inane comments made by “relatives” of the current leadership…think about the following:

=========================================
Bush Sr’s (or Old Bush’s) house in Houston had one of those old housing association’s clauses in the deed agreement. Do you know what it was? “that the house could not be sold to black people.” [my responsible cite: this information is contained in the following books--Kitty Kelley's The Family; Webster Tarpley's Unauthorized Biography of George H.W. Bush; Jim Hatfield's Unfortunate Son.] Jr. learned his attitudes from his parents…and

George Herbert Walker–descended from the Walker family of St. Louis who made their original money by first warehousing and then distributing goods brought into St. Louis via the riverboats and who parlayed his share of the family lucre into some serious dough via investment banking and stock stuff, was an extreme racist. Walker believed that blacks should be sterilized if they were caught “thieving” or (I apologize, I don’t remember the wording) staring with lust at white women. Walker owned a mine in Poland (the Silesian Mining Co) that was worked by Nazi-enslaved jews and Poles. When the U.S. kicked about “doing” business with the enemy, Walker proposed that he create a partnership with a dutch bank and then he “wouldn’t be doing business with the enemy” but with a dutch company and he couldn’t figure out why that arrangement wasn’t acceptable. Let’s just say that Walker never let morality or ethics “impair” his business judgement. GEORGE Sr. was named after this genetically-related moral destitute. (see cites above) Dubya’s many ventures were bankrolled by this same amoral racist pig…so a preference for WHITES only was also learned from Great Uncles and Grand parents on BOTH sides.

Prescott Bush==the Senator was also a racist, but he approached the situation differently. He wanted to provide free birth control and abortions to black women (to keep their numbers down, I presume).

Okay, so now you get the sense that Bush’s relatives are not exactly big promoters of affirmative action or proponents of assistance to minorities. What does that have to do with Bush’s “relaxation” statement?

Well…this is going to get disgusting, but..here goes…

Dubya was known as the killing governor. He refused to pardon a black carpenter that was actually proved via DNA not to have committed the crime that he was jailed for. Dubya said that “pardoning him makes a mockery of the jury’s decision.” BUT DUBYA pardoned Henry Lee Lucas–the worst serial killer in Texas history who began his murderous career with the particularly sickening crime of murdering his mother and raping her dead body. Why did Bush pardon Lucas (a confessed and PROVEN murderer of 7 people with many other murders not added to his criminal record because the bodies could not be found) and not other people? Why did Bush not pardon Karla Fae–a born again wife of a minister who visited her prison and who was never actually a killer just an accomplice? Why not the innocent ones and why a proven killer? (cites of this record are available in all the books above as well as the governor’s records relating to the Texas Dept. of Corrections)

One possible explanation could be that Shrubbish admired or felt affinity with Lucas. Let’s just say that there is a woman in a profession that has to do with “pain” as “pleasure” who was “employed” to teach someone how to inflict pain without creating a serious injury…and that evidently, some people are “untrainable” and the “training resulted in an injury to the person that the ‘trainee’ was “working on.” (the book will be out this year sometime)

SO, LET ME Suggest a completely different way to interpret the REMARK: When would a man who enjoys giving “pain” to achieve “pleasure,” relax? When he felt pleasure that he could no longer “contain” and he gave himself over to it. Most people call this moment an “orgasm,” but I am sure that he did not want to say that on national television…

Think about Caligula? Or Vlad the Impaler?????

This post just proves the lengths partisan liberals will go to use any tough situation as a hammer with which to beat the President over the heard.

Yall need to get over your hate.
