I don't understand why being either (or other) is any more of a concern than anywhere else. Do people really sit around and discuss their political concerns that much? I'd rather talk about you or your issues or your golf game or your grandchildren or what fun TV thing we are going to do next.
Russ, I totally support your statement on opinions! Unfortunately, some folks here DO seem to sit around and discuss their political concerns very much. My mother always told me that, at social gatherings, polite people never discuss sex, religion, or politics. Period.
