Opinion: Nothing Shocking submitted by Billy Webb
I have been visiting the Marshall area for almost 20 years and hope to visit again this spring. Having spent time and money in Marshall, Jefferson and the Caddo Lake community, I have been watching and listening to the whole wildlife refuge issue since its first inception and have been following closely again since the diversion incident with the honorable Senator and Representative. What you may find odd is that I find nothing shocking in this struggle.

For years we, the Citizens of the United States, have been utterly polarized. Whether you are Democrat/Republican, White/Black/Hispanic, Texan/Louisianan, Northern/Southern, Eastern/Western, Baptist/Methodist/Catholic/Muslim/Buddhist, Harrison Co./Marion Co., Rural/Urban, Sportsman/Animal Rights, Smoking/ Non-smoking, etc. we have always and will always represent two or more points of view. What concerns me these days is the complete lack of respect and decorum. This “do whatever it takes, say whatever it takes” attitude to win at all cost has us succumbing to undemocratic and un-American behavior.
