re: #58 zombie
I wish I lived in that kind of environment. I go to all sorts of parties/barbecues/get-togethers, but jovial all-inclusiveness is never on the menu. Sometimes, to test the waters, I’ll make some snarky “counter-intuitive” joke about with an inherent ciriticism of Obama or any number of far-left canards — and the room will fall silent, accompanied by cold stares. There is just no tolerance for any non-far-left viewpoint, even as a joke. Everything is happy and hunky-dory, but there is a scary Brave New World-ish regimentation to the weltanschauung here in zombieland.
Zomb, seriously. You need to get some new friends.
