*gasp* SCANDAL! John Kerry was transported to the US by a C-17

[Atman]

45. Just went through this with an old old friend in Florida.

Schoolyard friend. We grew up together, he was part of my wedding party. I recently went home to Florida and of course, we got together over some beers. He started with "...at the risk of our friendship..."

I had to stop him right there. We see each other regularly. We shared a doob. He reads my crap on FB, and I read his. He was somehow worried that we'd hate each other after 40 years of friendship just because of our FB posts.

He is pretty GOP...he lives in Florida, after all. But he is also very on board with Obamacare and he is very open to different perspectives. We agreed that, after all these years, we're still friends. Order a beer, don't worry about the politics (GASP -- I ordered a Sam Adams!). It was a great visit, and renewed my faith in humanity. A lot of people are total shit heels. A lot of people aren't. I spent my time in Cocoa Beach with hippie liberals and Republican real estate developers. We all got along great.

It's too bad people can't learn to discuss differences, or ignore them. I blame Fox "News."
