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.

All very true. However, life sucks when you have to deal with people that have views 180 from yours and they can’t stop bringing it up! I work with a guy who I know would consider my marriage an abomination, and I have to refrain from getting more closely involved with him, otherwise we would get into a confrontation that could end with us either in the hospital and/or fired.

We have to live with our convictions; that sometimes means staying away from those who are against them.
