It is also in our PERSONAL interest, because knowing the code could (as in the case mentioned above) save you own personal life someday. So could seat belts, but does everyone use them all the time? Besides, Morse code is actually FUN, like skiing or ice skating, once you stop grumbling and get some proficiency in it. Like scrubbing floors or repairing door hinges day in, day out? Gah. _H* -------

So! The anti-Morse forces are also opposed to seatbelts??

I know morse code (13 wpm worth, anyway), I know how to swim, and I always wear a seatbelt in my car, and a helmet when riding my motorcycle. But I do NOT think any of these should be mandatory. --------
