and I've always kept my politics away from work. I have noise isolating earphones and block him out. I know that sounds kinda cowardly, but I'm in the South and well, ultimately I want to keep my job and my eye on my own bottom line. He won't change his opinions either way...I'm thinking I may want a change of scenery eventually anyways...

Either way, crimes like the one mentioned above just personally sicken me...I don't understand the hatred in the first place, and the hatred that drives one to violence? Just plain shocking and appalling...
