I'm just glad we can discuss politics here.

On another board, I posted my surprise (more like shock and awe) at McCain's choice for VP.
I never even considered our Govenor as an option. In no way did I attempt to pursuade anyone to vote for McCain. In no way did I imply that I supported -- or did not support -- this choice.

Another member posted that they could never vote for a person who hunted. I responded that many Alaskan's hunt -- and eat what they hunt and that though I don't hunt, my freezer is full of fish that I caught. And that I would never vote -- or not vote -- for someone based on one issue.

The board moderated posted that they would prefer there be no more political discussion. Sheesh!

You shouldn't judge the world based upon just your little corner of it. Half of Alaska's population does not live near a grocery store. Hunting is not against the law. Many Alaskan's hunt for subsistance. That may not be the norm in your area of the world.

With all the huge problems going on in the world right now, I can't imagine voting -- or not voting for someone -- based upon whether they hunted.
