Hate to tell ya, but most people could care little for the politics left or right, and are simply tired of all the relentless and obvious whining, moralizing, & propaganda being foisted upon them. Uncouple the politics, acknowledge and attempt to reconcile the contrary science, and you actually may win a few more converts.

BINGO...you just more politely said exactly what I mockingly say when I refer to MMGW Cultists. I wish I had your patience, but the world is ending and we are running out of time to save the planet....

I bet there have been many times when Jack, L-E and probably others wouldn't agree that I've been polite or patient! Oh well, hopefully they don't take it (too) personally. I know I don't, especially since I credit Jack with getting me properly schooled up on the Colregs, along with other navigational & seamanship complexities. No doubt he knows his sailing stuff.

But it's funny, my views are not always in sync with yours, but I still often find them valuable and always humorous! Heck, I might still buy a watermaker from you one of these days. What's the world coming to when we're still inclined to do business with someone we have political disagreements with?? But tell me, will I need to check in with the AG's office first? Will there be a "penalty" imposed for such nonconforming societal malfeasance, or will it merely be a "tax?"
