(5,141 posts)Even sadder, a very good friend of mine has gone that way too but in his case it's worse. We worked together at an auction house, and he was a writer in the proposals department. Bright young thing, former teacher, had just moved up from NC with his wife to try and make a better life. I was the assistant to the Chairman, and this young man so impressed me that I took up his cause and got him his first promotion, so I've been very pleased that he's grown in leaps and bounds. But several years ago he took a job with a bank, and he's slowly turned from a liberal son of college professors to one of "them". We had dinner 2 weeks ago, and he told me Obama failed so he voted for Romney. Then went on and on and on about how the gubmint was discriminating against him (through taxes!) because he was a banker. I really wanted to cry. I feel like my friend died.
