Reading your post did make me feel bad. Yes I am very passionate about the issues I "spout off" about. I actually do not blame those that I argue with so vehemently because I know they are just as passionate about what they believe.
When "pissing" with someone that is just as stubborn as myself (and passionate about the topic), it is hard for me to look at it the way you put it. That is the stubborn part of me. Call it being middle-aged and full to my craw of passionate protesting of so many things nowadays, yet other equally injustices are ignored and "pooh-poohed" away only due to the fact of who the injustice is happening to.

Anyway, I need to realize that I am not going to change anyones mind any more than they will change mine....... And come here for the good fellowship that fishing gives each and every one of us. For my part in this, I apologize to all board members.
From now on I will either post in a productive manner or just go on to the next topic if I cannot......
