Neville, The problem with political discussions, even ones related to flyfishing, is that people are passionate about their views, are threatened by opposing views, and tend to get un-civil in making statements of facts, opinions, and views of others. Mis-information abounds as a political tactic- it's always been called propaganda in my experience.
This is why political discussions were banned by Byard- not so much for content, but for the fact that it leads to flaming and insults. A civil (unemotional) discussion to discern the REAL facts of this legislation would be helpful to all of us, but it seems partisan politics has brought such matters beyond a polite VFB civil discussion, as evidenced. I would like to know, but not at the expense of the camaraderie here. It's a REAL SHAME, too. Because wih the resouces we have here, and for what we have at stake, we could research all avenues apart from the partisan BS and find out what the real facts are.
