Well, no. First off, I'm not aware of any interpretation of the
1st/2nd Amendment that pertains to reception of public airwave
transmissions...though that is a legal right. Secondly, the
restriction in question is not that you may not capture the public
airwaves. It is that you may not mount the receiving equipment in such
a way that it causes an eyesore (according to the H.A.'s definitions).
Now, it may be that the aesthetics restriction has the practical effect
of barring you from capturing those signals, but that's a secondary
effect..and it may well be that you could successfully challenge the
restriction on those grounds.


I wasn't arguing that, as that is truly stupid and wrong.
However, Minorities are refused to have certain TV entertainment, as
dish size limits ARE set, even if they don't pose a threat to the
buildings or neighbors, by posting the dish in concrete, in the soil! :)

Uhm...that restriction has nothing at all to do with their status as
minorities, unless you're claiming that they ONLY apply to minorities.


If I move into Spaz's neighborhood (though I wouldn't...I don't really
like trailer parks) and choose to keep a legal firearm in my bedside
table for personal protection, there isn't ***-all he or the
association can do about it.


I agree!
But, according to him, there is!

So then *I* was right, and not him...as you previously claimed.


Then why did the police have to be called by the white family next door
in the middle of my installation of a dish installation, and tell me to
stop when doing a Telstar 5 Instal for a rather nice Chinese family?

Before I address that...can you tell me what the respective ethnicities
of the parties involved had to do with anything?
