It depends. Every issue has meaning for some people and does not have it for others. In this particular issue, Mr. Mason, probably being a straightforward Republican for more than 12 years, could be very concerned. It is his right, and he should be proud of it.
I saw some news this morning that Palin was fishing without license. It could be a source for concern for other people.
