Reply #31: Around here --

Everyone on our street here seemed nice enough. For years. Then for some reason I can't remember, politics came up and I found out I am surrounded by ideologues. No exaggeration. I criticized one little thing about * and they all freaked. Quietly, though. Sneering is very quiet. I was no longer someone to be taken seriously. Charming.

On the positive side, I can easily tell which candidates I should be pulling for in an election. I simply look at the signs on the lawns in the neighborhood and then seek out info. about those candidates' opponents. They've never steered me wrong, yet! Oddly enough, they haven't put out signs this year. Not a B/C sign to be seen for blocks. Eerie, really. Not that I mind, but still -- Eerie.
