I like to chat a bit on the Internet...and it would seem that I've been blown off by another acquaintance/friend just because our political ideologies are different. The worst is that I avoid discussing this subject and leave it to my blog to express my beliefs? Are my opinions worth less than any other person's?

What happened to respecting each other's opinions? Don't we have that right anymore? Or are we going down to the approach that only one ideology is proper? I happened to hear Dr. Laura talking about this the other day...I don't normally listen to her but she was the most interesting thing on at the time. She actually made sense for once!

It comes down to this...I have a super duper uper wonderful friend who hates Tapioca pudding and mushrooms (not together). I like Tapioca pudding and mushrooms (not together). Should I hate this person now because he doesn't care for Tapioca pudding mushrooms???

This is just as incongruent as a friend's recent posting on his blog...

Despite my disagreement with his approach to voting, I think he's still a super great guy who I'm proud to have as a friend.
