Something has been eating away at me - and I remembered a post from last month, written by Michele, who (as she so often does) puts into words what is bugging me:
I've managed to keep a lot of friends who are so liberal they make Indymedia look like NewsMax. I manage to still be friends with people who are anti-war, who poke fun at my politics or march against the things I stand for - and vote against them, too. I've accepted that basic fact that everyone is different. If I stopped talking to people who have values opposite mine, I would be a very lonely person.
Me too.
