In this trying political and economic climate, it seems hard to find common ground with people who have opposing viewpoints of the ways to solve the problems. However, we Re all here on this platform to share our common love of fishing and the outdoors... seems kinda silly that we can all love something so much while thinking the others are swine. I posit that if we can connect over fishing or hunting that there must be som similarities to our lives and conditions. So when you are approaching a political topic( ots a major election year) why not assume that the person you just were liking a picture of or a post of might in fact have an idea you hadn't thought of. Or perhaps approaching it with the care of listening to them before responding in a critical manner. Of we can see the others points and convey back to them our understanding of it we can find a way to help them see our own views in the same light. It's a crazy world but if we can find common ground in nature then why not try to at least understand where our fellow citizens are coming from. Socio economic status or travel or service can really drive world views so be mindful of that. People don't remember what you said they remember how it made them feel. . . So be open minded but have the resolve to stand your ground with courtesy. The world is a crap shoot right now so we need to be united if we want to solve the many problems. That being said I choose freedom every time
