Just have to add....
Look, I understand why many of the people on this forum feel like they are under attack by "liberals". It is because, taken as a group, they are attacking one of our most fundamental American rights. However, I really, truly believe that responsible, effective political discourse (you know, the kind that might effectively sway others to a better educated viewpoint) should be conducted in appropriate forums. I have to disagree with Cooter about a hunter safety course being an appropriate venue for a political stand. The parking lot after, maybe......
If we want and expect others to respect our right to believe and speak as we want, we have to respect their right to believe and speak. Simply trying to scream over the top of someone else changes no opinions. In fact, this irresponsible behavior on the part of the volunteer instructor does damage to the movement, not the opposite.
When discussing politics with others, especially those who disagree with me, I make every attempt to speak reasonably, rationally, and at a normal volume. I pay attention to what the other person is saying, and agree with them in some cases, explain why I disagree with them in others.
Time to start using respect.:yes2:
