Actually I was trying to keep this post going a while longer, but if you must know bc, It's because he wanted to legislate something (anything) against some (many, few, several) of his (my) hunting brethren. Doesn't have anything to do with voicing opinion. We know thats one thing everybody on here can do. I know you share in some of his stereotyping when it comes to words like "redneck" or "hillbilly",self imposed descriptions of many people I would trust with my life. And yes I have been to France. so what. I visited louis the XIV "hunting castle" Chambord or whatever the h it was called. I still think France is an excellent place...........for banishment from the tribe.
