Bret
As FYI, I address every guy as Friend or Brother (as in Bret, my Friend; or Brother Bret); just an old time way of greeting folks and "doing business" down here in the South (Brother Ken Hurst observes that same policy). And no we havn't met; but I'm convinced you're an alright guy and we'd have no issues in getting along and being friendly whenever we do have that opportunity, wheather we disagreed on an issue or not. One thing's for sure, were that not the case; you'd be the first guy in my 58 years with whom I was unable to be friendly! but in the interim, since I don't see myself as "the problem"; and further, am obviously too stupid to ever comprehend how I am "perpetuating the problem with the anti-hunting public", I'll just go blindly on my merry way promoting the great sport of hunting, promoting the continued use and study of fine double guns, donating to conservation organizations and causes, buying all sorts of guns and gear I don't need in doing my part to protect the sporting goods industry, promote and vote for politicians supporting 2nd Amendment rights, sharing my enthusisam and limited knowlege with anyone who asks, etc, etc, etc, and spreading good will and cheer where ever I go. But the one thing I won't ever do is apologize for any of my words or actions to any anti-hunting/anti-gun person or group! And further, I submit to you that if our collective rights to hunt are ever voted out of existence; that happenstance will not have occurred because a well-intentioned guy like Randy posted a few pix to this website, it'll be because those extremists have learned most expertly how to divide us as a group and put us at odds with each other. Your friend,
Tom
