Why we do what we do

To change minds:

As this newspaper’s Editorial Page editor in 2004, whenever I wrote a negative opinion piece about concealed carry, it got support from some readers who shared the same feeling, but it also got a flood of responses countering my arguments. The response from gun supporters was loud and spirited, to put it politely, and full of factual information. And the difference between opinion based on “feeling” and opinion based on fact, over time, made all the difference in changing my viewpoint.

That’s Tom Skoch, editor of The Morning Journal.

    Yeah, like “weapon” vs. “firearm.”

    That’s more-or-less how I joined our ranks…except it was independent research looking for rebuttal points to support my side in debate.

    And here http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2011/02/06/news/doc4d4e19b7cc90d005529107.txt is the front page article the editor references.
    I am surprised but pleased, that an Ohio (particularly a northern, Ohio) paper would print either of these articles. It is an amazing change since I last lived there.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
