Thanks for your response... I am a bit overwhelmed by it...

I know I can't do thing about the media, but I will continue to try to change the minds that are closer to me, like you are doing!

Those other comments of mine that acknowledge that we have a bad fringe element, I still hold to. We do have folk in our fringes that freak people out! - but there aren't very many. I do need to be clearly "not them" if I am to win hearts and minds that are in the middle... Need to take baby steps with them. Right to self-defense against an attacker in a parking lot first. Disdain for any and all government doesn't help me in that fight.

Nice response, thank you.

You are doing the right thing, and I do applaud your efforts. They are so much more than most do. You can do something about the media, however. You are doing it already. Read Freerepublic and be skepitcal of everything you read and hear. A skeptic is 90 percent on the way determining truth. You might consider stopping watching TV. If you try it for even a week or two, I guarantee that you well be amazed at how your attitude changes! I recommend to all my freinds that they not support their local media, if it is of a liberal bent. Why fund the hand that beats you? All of these things are done rather easily.

As you are obviously a thoughtful and proactive person, I'd like to know what you think of these actions and their possibility. I also wonder what I wrote that "overwhelmed" you. Was this good or bad? Did it alter any of your attitudes or opinions?

Just looking for some feedback.
