Today I watched a recording (on the local PBS channel "Florida Channel" broadcast they do on weekends, re airing recordings of state government meetings that happened over the week)....of a meeting in west palm, a public meeting on the topic of the state budget and shortfalls... its so John Q public walks up, says his peace to the state representatives and senators.
So what set me off was a Tshirt wearing person, she gets up and says her speech, no problem right? Everyone else did the say thing; get up, talk, sit down, and listen to the next person... well this speaker gets up... talks, then turns around and all of the sudden, 3/4 of the people (most wearing that same type TShirt by the way) in the room get up and they all walk out... well there were other people that had a turn... why are you all getting up and walking out?! Where was the respect for your fellow Floridian... everyone listened to what you had to say... why not stick around and listen to others?
made me mad, one side of the debate will not show respect and listen to other ideas... nothing will get fixed with disrespect and the inability of conversation between people.
