re: #61 Surabaya Stew

Hey James, I know this might seem like locking the stable after the horses have left, but its crucial to get an idea of a person’s political beliefs and social sensibilities before you start getting very involved with them. IMHO, If they are very different from yours and they can’t keep their feelings to themselves, then the relationship is doomed in the long run.

Ehh… that is nice advice, and it’d be easy to follow, but by the same token, as Jon Stewart pointed out, outside of Washington we work together with the people we disagree with.

It wouldn’t make sense for me to stand up at work and say “Hey I’m a tax and spend marijuana leaglizing, rich envying, abortion protecting, liberal and if any of the rest of you disagree we need to have a long discussion about it because I can’t work in this envrionment otherwise…”

Man does not eat or live on convictions alone, no matter the cause of those convictions.
