This is an emotional issue, but there is a line one should not cross. I personally have received threats as well.. but from trophy hunters instead. Unfortunately, my name is out there and I expected it. No matter what we think of our opponents, violence should never be encouraged. Also, I might point out this may be some kind of publicity ploy to smear the opposition. The people on the no side have gotten their fair share of threats too. We have not used these to smear our opponents, because we recognize that there are fringe nuts in every issue, and that these threats are not representative of the yes campaign. I have met some of my opponents, and they seem to be nice people as individuals. I hope this campaign does not turn into an issue of fringe nuts who represent neither sides of the issue. kelly.cowan@ebbs.cts.com [Previous] [Next] [Hitlist] [Get Thread] [Author Profile] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Home ] - ] [ Search ] - ] [ Contacts ] - ] [ Help ] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
