Its not that way anymore. Why? I have my thoughts on the subject but probably should hold them for the political forum. Folks live and let live. Life is far too short to hold grudges

I don't know but politics seem to be more than politics as we age. I don't recall that it ever entered my mind as a way to choose friends but it seems to be that way here more often than not.
As many of you know the population of The Villages is overwhelmingly conservative voters, and The Daily Sun has a political slant. All papers do. I don't know why anyone finds that surprising unless in the area that they moved from the slant was the other direction.
I like to get the word out because it is often the reason for discontent when someone moves here to find that they are way in the minority.
