I do. 

I am using Hybrid ( http://themehybrid.com/demo/hybrid/ ) as the parent
theme and creating a child theme called nawbo. Here is the website.
http://nawbogrrv.org/

Hybrid uses several style sheets that will give you desired results when
used in combination. Number of columns in one, font styling in another, etc.
In this case there are 4 parent style sheets before my custom styles.

Custom style sheet: http://nawbogrrv.org/wp-content/themes/nawbo/style.css

Parent styles used: (../ = http://nawbogrrv.org/wp-content/themes )
@import url('../hybrid/library/css/reset.css');  <-- zeros out browser
styles 
@import url('../hybrid/library/css/screen.css');  <-- controls comments,
errors, nav, etc. 
@import url('../hybrid/library/css/18px.css');   <--  controls fonts
@import url('../hybrid/library/css/3c-c-fixed.css');   <-- makes a three
column layout

Using Firebug to find which styles to override usually works really well.

The specific problem I would like to zero out is the linked rss text in the
left sidebar. The line-height is too much and I can't seem to adjust it.
Firebug shows many, many styles that are applied to it. Shutting them off
solves the problem, but they ALL need to be shut off before I can add
line-height. I have tried getting specific as possible and adding
!important. It doesn't work. Right now there is no custom styling applied
and it looks exactly the same.

#primary #rss-3 .widget-inside ul li a.rsswidget    {
        - want to add zero style here -
        line-height: 1.2em;  }
