    You may have seen this message while editing your Bio page.

    Microsoft Word creates HTML code that is incompatible with most websites, including QRZ. If you paste content into your bio from material that was copied from an open Microsoft Word document, you could have problems.

    The most frequent manifestation of this issue is that after a user pastes Word text into his bio, his bio may disappear altogether, as well as possibly his Detail page and other options. Nothing is actually lost, however, the incompatible HTML code causes the material to not be displayed.

    If you can't find the Edit Record button on your page, you can always get to your callsign edit page using http://www.qrz.com/ed/your_callsign .

    If you are familiar with HTML source, click the Source button on the Bio Editor to see what's really going on. You can remove <MSOobject> and other non-HTML standard tags and perhaps recover your lost text.

    If one is going to create a post in a separate editor, ONLY use a text editor like Windows Notepad. (I use Notepad++, a Notepad replacement.).

    A text editor is one that you can't enhance the text in (like bold, italics, colored text, etc.). I occasionally create a post in Notepad++ and then copy and paste it into a QRZ post, with no problems. (It doesn't matter if what you're using is something other than Word, although MS Word is particularly bad about this. Use a TEXT EDITOR only. :)

    If you want text effects in your post, do it after you paste it into the QRZ editor. Never before.

    For a computer dummy like me over the last 2 week period the website has be updated. The biography edit page no longer
    allows you to enter text with different colors or html links either manually or copy and paste, only ordinary plain text. Why is this?
    prior to the upgrade work done on the website, this wasn't a problem. Anytime i needed to change or update information and put
    some new websites onto the body of text of which I have enclosed below from a screensave I did early Janurary, no problem colored text
    and clicable links remained just fine. I hope you know what I am describing with my lack of computer lingo speak.

    Here is how my bio section should look like

    The 3 basic rules of human kind are LIFE, LIBERTY & PROPERTY! Least I add a 4th one, the RIGHT to be left alone!!! These basic un-alienable RIGHTS predate and trump any Constitution! The only legitimate government is one who protects these basic fundamental RIGHTS and nothing more.

    LIBERTY & FREEDOM for all does not come free! READ ON, join the fight by spreading the word, waking up others and tell everyone else to read and research these things and join too! The big corporations, world ruling class elite scumbags like the families of Rothchild, Rockefeller, Warburg, Windsor and others, the international wanker bankers, and your government don't want you to know these things! They'd prefer you to "go back to sleep" and let them take care of you.

    “IN MEMORY OF OUR GOD, OUR RELIGION, AND FREEDOM, AND OUR PEACE, OUR WIVES, AND OUR CHILDREN" (The Title Of LIBERTY)
    PLEASE: TO ALL OF YOU READING THIS SIGNATURE WHO LOVE AND CARE ABOUT FREEDOM, LIBERTY, PRIVACY, THE CONSTITUTION & BILL OF RIGHTS (ALL OF YOUR UN-ALIENABLE RIGHTS) FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY, READ THIS SITE, CHECKOUT THE LINKS, DO SOME RESEARCH AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO READ THIS SITE, DO THE SAME AND PASS IT ALONG. AMERICA NEEDS YOU, WE NEED EACH OTHER BECAUSE OUR FREEDOM AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS A COUNTRY TRULY HANG IN THE BALANCE!! Restoring our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC & Enforcing ALL of our UN-ALIENABLE RIGHTS, not just limited to the BILL OF RIGHTS! The only RIGHTS you have are those you are willing to fight for, freedom is not given, you have to take it! INDIVIDUALS only have RIGHTS, collectives, communities, associations, organisations, groups and your government have "privileges"!! RIGHTS which are "inseparable" from responsibilities are fundamental to each individual and are inseparable from you and inherent to you therefore they predate any Constitution or Government. No legitimate government has any authority to place a "lien" upon your RIGHTS or to infringe upon them, hence "un-alienable RIGHTS!" Remember all of your Public Officials, Govt officers including law enforcement are your SERVANTS, your employess and you are the MASTER, THE "SOVEREIGN" so treat them as such! Power correctly flows in one direction: from YOU, to the county government, the state government and at the bottom of the food chain of command here in these united States of America the federal government! It's not the other way around where they (Govt) can tell you what to do. We have RIGHTS and we give the government "privileges." If they violate any of your RIGHTS then deal with them accordingly by filing a criminal complaint against them in their personal capacity! In order for them to be complient with the law they HAVE to obey the CONSTITUTION and their oath they swore to defend, protect and uphold the CONSTITUTION binds them to not be able to violate your RIGHTS, though in practice often times this is not the case because We The People have allowed this and have become fearful of our Govt, they need to be fearful of us! Don't let any of them get away with it! EXERCISE your RIGHT to be left ALONE! The best way we can take back LIBERTY is to begin from the "bottom up" rather than from the top down, starting with our COUNTIES with the SHERIFF and our local leaders reminding them of their oath of office, because Washington DC is a lost cause, that's how we can defend against a tyrannical out of control and vastly oversized Federal Govt dictatorship, Military Industrial Complex and the rising Police State who are trying to control and micro manage every little detail and aspect of your life from cradle to grave through their technological enslavement control grid! Do you call that FREEDOM??. The New World Order is here right now folks, right in front of your eyes! Lets take back our Counties and the States and tell the Big Corporations & the Feds to "kiss off!" Then we can once again have in AMERICA a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC not a democracy, and have a land of LIBERTY and stop practicing all 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto http://www.libertyzone.com/Communist-Manifesto-Planks.html which we have been doing in America as far back as 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act. Do your research if you don't believe we are practicing all 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto then compare it to the system we have today, you'll be shocked! THE SHERIFF IS THE HIGHEST LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL IN YOUR COUNTY and the only Lawman who is an elected official therefore inform him of his upmost duty to protect the Citizens of his County from out of control State and Federal Government. The Sheriff is one of the last bastions of FREEDOM in AMERICA! READ these 3 websites to learn just how to imform your SHERIFF and get him to do his duty to protect the UN-ALIENABLE RIGHTS of his COUNTY http://SheriffMack.com/http://jackmclamb.community.officelive.com/aidandabetnewsletter.aspx and http://www.OathKeepers.org for the most effective way to bring back your local county to a Republican form of govt restoring LIBERTY as established in our CONSTITUTION. If your Sheriff won't do his duty, oust him and get another Sheriff to do his duty or run for Sheriff yourself! ALSO Jury Rights, Jury Nullification and Grand Juries are powerful and effective for removing bad law starting at the local level! If you have the opportunity to do Jury Service DO IT! Get on your county's Grand Jury. See Fully Informed Jury Association http://FIJA.org The County Grand Jury http://www.countygrandjury.org/ and read the Citizens Rulebook http://www.apfn.org/pdf/citizen.pdf available from Whitten Publishers http://www.whittenprinters.com/ Remember, a "democracy" is 2 wolves and 1 sheep deciding on who to have for lunch, or where 51% get to vote away the rights of the 49%! AMERICA was established as a REPUBLIC, NOT A democracy. A REPUBLIC protects the RIGHTS of the individual from the "majority." The Sheriff is the highest Law Enforcement Official in the County and has the authority and power to defend the Citizens of his County against all agencies of the Federal Govt that means he can even kick the Feds out of the county like the IRS, FBI FCC ATF FEMA etc and all of those other UN-Constitutional alphabet soup agencies so remind your Sheriff of his lawful duties because many of them are not fully aware of their power and duty to the Citizens of his County! Have your Sheriff actually ENFORCE ALL of the BILL OF RIGHTS & CONSTITUTION in your County! NO LAW IS BROKEN IF NO PARTY IS INJURED! So stop allowing your public servants from prosecuting you with charges for "victimless crimes" it is your RIGHT to do with your body and with your property as you please WITHOUT limitation as long as you do not infringe upon anyone elses RIGHTS! Anything less than that is not FREEDOM and LIBERTY! Most of the laws enacted are not for safety they are just created for revenue, don't believe me, then do your research "follow the money!" You will find that most of what your Govt does is UN-CONSTITUTIONAL, therefore UNLAWFUL if it is not congruent with the BILL OF RIGHTS & CONSTITUTION! Your government wants you to go back to sleep and believe that all is well, that things aren't that bad and that they will take care of you, if you follow that through to it's ultimate conclusion you truly will wake up soon a slave on the global plantation!! WAKE UP NOW while we still have that small window of opportunity! It's your CONSTITUTION and my CONSTITUTION so defend it because if you don't then in the words of George W Bush it's just a "G** damn piece of paper" Yeah he's right even though when he said it he was not meaning it in the same context as me. Your CONSTITUTION cannot do anything for you by itself, if you stand on the railway tracks when a train is coming with a copy of the CONSTITUTION in your hands is your CONSTITUTION going to save you? No!! Of course not so you have to fight yourself for what it stands for! Then at the same time lets take back our states by contacting your state senator and state representative to sponsor a similiar resolution to the example that New Hampshire is doing, SPREAD THE WORD QUICKLY tell everyone you know to do the same thing for taking back our FREEDOM & LIBERTY beginning with your own County and your State! See this example of states rights (10th Amendment) for New Hampshire: http://www.nolanchart.com/article5941.html

    THE FUNDAMENTAL BASICS OF WHAT FREEDOM IS: Watch this 8min short video on what FREEDOM & LIBERTY is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1buym2xUM&feature=player_embedded then read below:
    Zero Protection by Michael Badnarik http://www.ConstitutionPreservation.org

    I'm very grateful to RepublicMagazine.com for giving me this opportunity to share what I've learned about the Constitution over the last twenty-five years. I hope this column will help restore the principles that led to the Constitution, a document which has been ignored, abandoned, and violated for too long.

    You may be shocked to discover that I absolutely hate the phrase "Constitutional rights". That's because neither the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights has anything at all to do with your rights. If they burn the First Amendment, are you going to give up your freedom of religion? I don't think so. If they shred the Second Amendment, are you going to voluntarily turn in your guns, and risk being slaughtered en masse like the victims of the Holocaust? I certainly hope not. Please disabuse yourself of the habit of using that nasty, misleading phrase.

    While I'm at it, I want you to stop pretending that the Constitution even protects your rights. It does no such thing! Imagine standing on a railroad track in the path of an oncoming locomotive, holding up a copy of the Constitution for "protection". That's how much protection the Constitution gives you. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

    You think I'm kidding?! I am not using hyperbole to emphasize a point. How much protection did the Constitution give us against FDR's socialist New Deal? None. How much protection has it given you against the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, or the Real ID Act? Zero. What will the Second Amendment do to prevent ATF agents from kicking down your door to confiscate your firearms? Zip. Nada. Nothing at all.

    Do I have your attention, yet?

    The reason we are standing chest deep in the septic tank of today's political process is because we've lost sight of the fact that "We the People" are supposed to be protecting the Constitution, not the other way around. We complain about the problems in Washington D.C. without facing up to the fact that Congress is only the symptom. We the People are the source of the problem. That is going to change. Right here. Right now.

    All of our political problems can be traced back to a single, simple, misunderstanding. Americans have forgotten (or never knew) the difference between RIGHTS and Privileges.


    (PLEASE READ THIS: http://www.constitutionpreservation.org/sites/default/files/files-misc/chapter_two.pdf )

    A RIGHT is something that you can do without asking for permission, such as walking back and forth on your property. A privilege is something you require permission to do, such as walking back and forth across my property. I may grant you the privilege of walking across my property - BUT - I can revoke that privilege any time I wish. Rights and privileges are opposites! Either you need permission - or you don't. You can't lose "some" of your virginity, or be "a little bit" pregnant. You either are or you're not. There's no middle ground.






    REPUBLIC vs Democracy


    These succinct definitions of what is Democracy and what is a Republic was produced by the US Army in 1928, These definitions have been quietly withdrawn since, soon after.

    Democracy:
    A government of the masses.
    Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.
    Results in mobocracy.
    Attitude toward property is comunistic-negating property rights.
    Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate. whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.
    Results in demagogism license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.
    Democracy is the "direct" rule of the people and has been repeatedly tried without success.
    A certain Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly two centuries ago, had this to say about Democracy: " A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship."
    A democracy is majority rule and is destructive of liberty because there is no law to prevent the majority from trampling on individual rights. Whatever the majority says goes! A lynch mob is an example of pure democracy in action. There is only one dissenting vote, and that is cast by the person at the end of the rope.
    Republic:
    Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.
    Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure.
    Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.
    A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.
    Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.
    Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.
    A republic is a form of government under a constitution which provides for the election of:
    1. an executive and
    2. a legislative body, who working together in a representative capacity, have all the power of appointment, all power of legislation all power to raise revenue and appropriate expenditures, and are required to create
    3. a judiciary to pass upon the justice and legality of their governmental acts and to recognize
    4. certain inherent individual rights.
    Take away any one or more of those four elements and you are drifting into autocracy. Add one or more to those four elements and you are drifting into democracy.
    Our Constitutional fathers, familiar with the strength and weakness of both autocracy and democracy, with fixed principles definitely in mind, defined a representative republican form of government. They "made a very marked distinction between a republic and a democracy and said repeatedly and emphatically that they had founded a republic."
    A republic is a government of law under a Constitution. The Constitution holds the government in check and prevents the majority (acting through their government) from violating the rights of the individual. Under this system of government a lynch mob is illegal. The suspected criminal cannot be denied his right to a fair trial even if a majority of the citizenry demands otherwise.
    Difference between Democracy and Republic, in brief:
    Democracy:
    a:
    government by the people; especially : rule of the majority.

    b: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences

    c: Where 51% can take or (vote) away the RIGHTS of the 49%.



    d: Where 2 wolves and one sheep decide on who to have for lunch!
    Republic
    a: a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in modern times is usually a president : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government.
    b: a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.

    Democracy and Republic are often taken as one of the same thing, but there is a fundamental difference. Whilst in both cases the government is elected by the people, in Democracy the majority rules according to their whims, whilst in the Republic the Government rule according to law. This law is framed in the Constitution to limit the power of Government and ensuring some rights and protection to Minorities and individuals.


    Autocracy declares the divine right of kings; its authority can not be questioned; its powers are arbitrarily or unjustly administered.
    Mobocracy: 1. Political control by a mob. 2. The mass of common people as the source of political control.


    NULLIFICATION
    http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2010/01/28/nullification-its-official/

    ---

    "Nullification is not secession or insurrection, but neither is it unconditional or unlimited submission. Nullification is not something that requires any decision, statement or action from any branch of the federal government. Nullification is not the result of obtaining a favorable court ruling. Nullification is not the petitioning of the federal government to start doing or to stop doing anything. Nullification doesn’t depend on any federal law being repealed. Nullification does not require permission from any person or institution outside of one’s own state.
    So just what IS “official” nullification you might be asking?
    Nullification begins with a decision made in your state legislature to resist a federal law deemed to be unconstitutional. It usually involves a bill, which is passed by both houses and is signed by your governor. In some cases, it might be approved by the voters of your state directly, in a referendum. It may change your state’s statutory law or it might even amend your state constitution. It is a refusal on the part of your state government to cooperate with, or enforce any federal law it deems to be unconstitutional.
    Nullification carries with it the force of state law. It cannot be legally repealed by Congress without amending the US Constitution. It cannot be lawfully abolished by an executive order. It cannot be overruled by the Supreme Court. It is the people of a state asserting their constitutional rights by acting as a political society in their highest sovereign capacity. It is the moderate, middle way that wisely avoids harsh remedies like secession on the one hand and slavish, unlimited submission on the other. It is the constitutional remedy for unconstitutional federal laws.
    With the exception of a Constitutional amendment, the federal government cannot oppose (except perhaps rhetorically), a state’s decision to nullify an unconstitutional federal law without resorting to extra-legal measures. But such measures would more than likely backfire, since most Americans still affirm that might does not make right."
    http://www.lewrockwell.com/spl2/nullification-of-congress.html for further details.

    Quote: "When a state nullifies a federal law, it does so with the solemn conviction that the law in question is unconstitutional. The state's lawmakers, generally invoking their sovereign powers under the Tenth Amendment, are proclaiming that the offensive law is void and inoperative, or non-effective, within the boundaries of that state. In other words, they declare that the federal law is not "legal" and cannot be enforced against their citizens.

    Such nullification has a long history in the American tradition. Of late it has been used by quite a few states in effectively blocking the federal Real ID Act of 2005 and resisting federal marijuana laws. With regard to healthcare legislation expected to be forced on us against our will by Washington, a number of states are already putting into motion the wheels of nullification.

    "

    Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter



    The Gun is Civilization
    by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
    Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.




    In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

    When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.



    The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.



    There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.



    People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.



    Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.



    People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.

    The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.



    When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation. and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.



    By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)



    So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced.




    ABOUT ME:

    Kia ora, Hello, G'day! My name's Dion, that's Dion Wood. I'm orig from Auckland, N.Z. and moved here to America landing in Honolulu on Halloween 1990, my new home for 8ths. As of Dec 1998 I got my American Citizenship which means I have dual Citizenship (N.Z. & American). I now live and have for a long time in Chicago. Planning to move to UTAH soon and set down my roots. I am very close, loyal and passionate toward the people who matter the most and the things that matter the most. My Father in heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ and His Gospel, my family, friends, other people and my passion for LIBERTY, FREEDOM & un-alienable RIGHTS!

    I'm pretty sincere and honest. Practical, kind, loving, down to earth and understanding. I am tender and know how to feel how the other person would feel and am sensitive to their feelings and emotions (not common) to most guys I've learned from girls who know me, that honest and sincere communication, hugging, cuddling and sharing much affection and intimacy are most enjoyable as well as important! They are the most desireable and important things I would crave too in marriage! I am pretty good at communication and really enjoy deep, interesting, intelligent conversation and just being silly sometimes. Most of all, I am loyal and can be trusted! I want my companion to be my best friend that I give my all to on every level imaginable.

    Who I'd like to meet:
    A beautiful "wahine" who loves her Savior Jesus Christ and loves LIBERTY. A woman who is kind, loving, loyal, interesting, conversational and educated. Fascinating, humorous, funloving and sensitive, who loves children. Somewhat athletic female, fit, active, does not matter if taller than me (I am confident and not awkward at all) with taller women. Age approx 25 to 39 in age. I am looking for a wonderful friend first, a woman to hold me in her arms like an anaconda and squeeze the hell out of me. When i do or say something really dumb, to strangle the life out of me too!

    yes my friend, that is perfect. I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way automatically whenever you want to edit some of it. I used to be able to edit it anytime i wanted when i needed to add some new website links or just type or paste any new materiel prior to the update that tookplace to QRZ over the last 2 weeks. is there a way that the old way of edit to be restored?

    I am copy/paste as HTML code. Just copy HTML code from your post in forum and then insert it in HTML window in the qrzcom page.

    I am install code from XX2XXX page to your page.
    Also install CSS style (Illinois animated flag & brushed metal background into calldata area). Can also add same background into bio part of page (bottom part) - let me know if you want it.
    You can remove it very easy - go to CSS style window and delete all text here.
    Let me know if you want fix this template in your page .
    With any trouble in the page - contact me.
    For best design your own page - look to other pages - http://www.qrz.com/db/UA6JD#Samples

    WHEW!!!!!!! That has to be the most difficult single posting I've read yet during my brief amount of time as a licensed op and a member of the Zed ! I almost thought I had slipped across space-time fabric into a fractal universe.

    Valerie - your HTML code of Flag counter is damage by <div> tags. I just show a main link http://s01.flagcounter.com/more/86136 , regenerate HTML code and install it in your page. I am not sure that it is your link which you was generate from Flag Counter server. It had zero statistic (no any visitors). It is possible install USA state counter as well as Canadian provinces flag counter.
    Anyway contact me direct if you will have a problem -

    Hello,
    I know the problem in the source code from my bio. There is one " too much behind the "_blank" . I remove it, hit save and hit done but the wrong code returns.
    Can you help me?

    Hi Vlad,

    thank you that you solved my problem.
    We can arrange a sked, but unfortunately I can only work VHF / UHF at the moment.
    My current TRX is a Kenwood TH-F7e (portable 5W), therefore it is a big challenge to get in contact.

    73, Jens DO8JD
