Wink I should be a patient

For some posters, I think their point of view is colored by their point of view of the lake.
Oh I'm under no delusion that I'll ever convince ApS to change his view. I'm not even considering that. No I just try to respond and present what I see as the truth. Others, as you say, have differing viewpoints depending on where they are on the lake. They're not wrong in their appraisal per se and probably none of us have a large enough "view" to put everything into it's proper context. So I try to listen, reject those fringe element views (which as Skip points out come from both sides) and find some way to attack/solve those views/problems that I think are reasonable. After all a general description of what I do for a living is "proffesional problem solver". In that respect I see HB-162 as well intended but flawed legislation. It's not surprising given it's conception, gestation and birth violated all the good principles of problem solving. I am of the belief that some better legislation can help and can be found. When I get a chance (and that may be soon given the snow) I intend (did promise) to put some SWAGs into the "compromises" thread. Lastly I think most of us can identify with the issues raised in this discussion, we do differ in our response to them.

As to patience .... ha ... I'm certainly not a patient person (just ask "Mee"). I've just been "trained" properly. Try presenting to some company VP on why he's so full of S.... errr ... "misguided in his approach to the situation". Or going to the Pentagon to tell some Admiral that he couldn't find his A ..... aaahh... has not been "properly briefed by his staff". Now that's "patience" .... this is just a discussion forum, a bunch of us all shooting the S ... errr ... "fecal matter".
