<The tenor of the discourse was the only reason stepped into this pissing
contest.>
Lou,
Thank you for stating this better than I did. It's the tone that I took
umbrage with.
Not to belabor a point (Stick, meet the dead horse). I'm kind of a get more
flies with honey kinda gal. I think it's safe to say "enforce the law",
that goes without saying. However, if that's not working perhaps coming up
with some positive suggestions to help the powers-that-be to do that might
be in order.
I completely agree with Bruce that we need to make an effort, but I think
that there are some people (yes, I'm one of them) that when faced with
someone telling me I'm a slacker for not getting in people's faces, well,
that just makes me dig in my heels and not participate with person (at least
not that they can see) even if I agree with their basic argument. I think
there is a fine line between assertive and agressive. Assertive, in my
experience, tends to work better in MOST situations.
Tone, it's an amazing thing.
Arletta
