We just finished a discussion of FSP on the Marlin Firearms forum:
http://www.marlinfirearms.com/ubb/Forum9/HTML/001252.htmlPredictably, some in this mostly-conservative bunch had a problem with ending drug prohibition and a couple got in a snit about secession. I'm starting to think we need to de-emphasize the secession aspect somewhat.
Funny about how people are. I had a conversation with a politician a while back, where I asked him why politicians are so mealy-mouthed, never coming out and saying anything. He told me that if you had 10 positions and came out and said what they were forthrightly, and a given voter agreed with 9 of them, that he'd only remember the one he disagreed with you on! If all voters did the same thing, he would be sunk! So that's why the only positions they come out in favor of are ones that are carefully shown to have a healthy majority of support.
That concept was demonstrated in the above thread. Amazing that these guys would fixate on drugs and secession, when all the time in this same forum they complain about taxes and government thugs and saying government "can have their guns when they pry them from their cold, dead hands". But there it is. There seems to be a suspicious side of human nature, to look for the worst in a political program. I suppose that is not too unreasonable!
