No Lists
Hello All.
Trisha:
The short answer is no. Here's the long answer:
I wouldn't because I'm not about to list the people that would be welcome. I don't think you should list people by their labels, whether unwelcome ones or self-constructed ones. I'll shoot with anyone who a) won't shoot me, b) likes to shoot, c) has an interesting point of view, and d) isn't a pain in the rear. You say that the LSD's are doing it and it's working for them. Maybe so, but I am NOT an LSD, and I don't intend to start behaving like one. Unlike Machiavelli, I don't think that the ends justify the means. I get the impression that you are saying that these folks are reluctant to get involved because they are unsure of their welcome. Well, yeah. That's called LIFE. To say that they require special attention because of their label, according to the way I look at things, is to offer them grave insult. Besides, to take The High Road
of the struggle to defend and preserve rights and independence requires positive action. The LSD's can troll and beg for supporters, because nothing is required of them in the way of reason or strength. For those who would join the struggle, this is not the case. To them I say, "Come on if you're coming, and welcome." However, I'm not going to plead with anyone to join the fight. It's their decision, as in all things.
