I manage to share all the ideas I want with people through face to face, phone and letters, as regards to digital coms I use email, my web site and here.

I feel communications are far better face to face, on the phone or by letter, any thing requiring a key board is a poor second for me. Typing always gets in the way of my thinking and is an unnatural process to me and stops my flow and inhibits my reasoning, reading anything of any length on a screen is a real pain as well. But then I have never been the brightest tool in the box and have never claimed to be good at anything. I like things simple as most complexity is just noise that adds nothing to any debate.

I get the impression with the digital media that people are more interested in the technology rather than the message, sweeping generalisation I know to there will no doubt be the odd exception.

See my signature, it is my view of the world.

At the same time though the government, law enforcement and the antis all use the social media in on form or another. It's just another environment where they have had their way too long, it's time to take it to them for a change.

Nobody 'listens' to letters any more - it's dead tech - the political battle is fought on social media (especially twitter) whether you like it or not. I've encouraged three people to take up shooting in the last month alone. I've never met them. That's the power of it.
