The Porch Light Is On And Nobody Is Home

[Agony]

12. So I keep grabbing onto "education" as "the" important factor and

force myself to talk to every "right" leaning person in my life... the people I might not find any other commonality with ... the plow operator/the welder/the auto parts dude/mechanic/all of the overly religious people in my life/gun clubbers/american legionnaires... it requires a careful dancing around certain topics until it seems like we are both "real" people to each other. Then bringing up, how we do health care, or Right to Work doesn't really seem to mean much for working people, isn't _such_ a big deal. Sometimes...

Is this how we have to do it? One person at a time? Really?

I don't have the answer.

but i do like talking to people even if they turn out to be assholes
