(244 posts)My brother is a skinny weather worn face ( think Perry) 50 yrs old and has hair down to his ass, He is on his face, the most hippy looking dude you ever saw . He is a staunch fiscal conserv. with deep convictions concerning gays and social justice thats lets just say wouldnt go over well here. I on the other hand am an overweight man of 53 with a buzz cut and a penchant for long cigars and singlemalt scotch.( think rush limbaugh)I am of the opinion that gay rights are just as important as my civil rights. I tend to think it really shouldnt be anybody`s business who an adult loves or marries . I also tend to believe the only way this country goes forward rather than back is to have government make sure rampant capitalism is regulated to allow for a vibrant middle class. these views make my brother start to breath funny when i express them.
