Usually, I like Adams' columns, although I think that he'd be a pain to work with. I'd hate to be an administrator at his school. I thought that this latest article could have been written better, though. He did an awfully good job of building up a straw man, then knocking it over.
Like I said in my original post, this whole incident - the shooting, and the aftermath - disgusts me. And the people that say 'Hey, this is no big deal' get me a little wound up. I can't imagine hunting that irresponsibly myself, and I think that sloughing it off gives hunters a bad reputation. I think that Liberal's general perception of hunters is that they're a bunch of bloodthirsty killjoys, and incidents like this and people that rush to apologize for them, just confirm that perception.
Actually, with this, you sound like someone who this season got his first-ever hunting license and just made or are about to make his first hunting trip. And Liberals' perception of hunters is not relevant to anything here. It is a constant and nothing can modify it for better or for worse. Reality does not affect their views, only the story they have accepted.
