Bush to consider shutting down GPS in extreme emergency

Unless you have a stock of batteries or a generator.

Paying taxes is no guarantee of anything the government does
or allows.

 

Google Versailles and airliner for another view.

 

What do you do when the batteries run out and the generator runs out of
fuel?

 

Get a radio tha has a crank leaver, it does not need batteries or any other
power source only a crak for 20 minutes of play

 

How dull are you anyway? He joined during his inauguration as
predident when he simultaneously became commander in chief. As a
former president once proved, he can, on his word only, send a fleet
halfway around the world, leaving the Congress to allocate money if
they wanted them brought back.

 

Technically they have no such rights. It is wholly owned and
operated by the US. Others have no jurisdictionin to control any
aspect of it. Were the US to permanently shut the whole thing down,
others would have no legal recourse. Similarly the US could turn off
all their electrical plants and bomb all their roads into uselessness
with no one to say them nay. As could all other nations wtr power
plants and roads.

 

The President is a civilian.

 

Judging by recent US activity the rest of the world could see it as an
act of war and respond appropriately.

 

Yup, they could quit using it.That would be an appropriate response for
something they receive free of charge.

Careful, Sam. In the not-too-distant future people with these skills will need
to be registered with the Department of Homeland Security. Suspect unlicensed
navigators will be blindfolded, dropped by helicopter into a remote wilderness
setting and asked to report to the nearest police station. Success will be
proof of guilt, and rewarded with an indefinite stay in Guantanamo's notorious
"Camp Navstar".
