Reply #23: I am a member of VFP [View All]

but my work schedule prevented me from attending the conference. :grr:

However, I would like to relate something which happened yesterday; keep in mind this took place in Columbia, SC (my home).

Normally when I wear my VFP t-shirt in public people stare at me, some will say mean things, etc. When I am confronted about it, I peacefully inform the belligerent that I helped to defend their right to freedom of speech, that they are entitled to their opinions and I hope they enjoy expressing them as I do mine. (Wage Peace!)

Now for yesterday, I was actually complimented by someone! They said, "I like that shirt." I was so surprised I told this person that they were the first to do so and that I greatly appreciated their support.
