Like you, I think the whole 'national' test thing was 'fishy'...I didn't and don't like the idea of the Government, or the 10 Federal Regions, or anyone having 'complete control' over any form of broadcast/media. I think 'they' already do control the media via tv/movies/print...it seemed that broadcast radio might be the last 'hold out'.

I am a rebel by nature, and I don't want some 'Alliance' telling me what it thinks I should hear.

On that note, gotta ask, you wouldn't happen to be a 'Browncoat', would you? Your name sounds familiar from another board I 'hang out' at.

Blessings~
