    Hey - thanks fo rthis post; could not believe how appropriate this was to me.  I recently made the mistake of talking politics with a friend.  And because she was a friend, I was really surpised (though in retrospect no so much) at how combative and angry she was at me about what we were discussing  So now I know why - she is a true believer and doesn't really have the need to entertain alternative thoughts or philosophies.  Which is sad.  But simply true.  I won't make that mistake again.

    Thanks for posting -all the best, sue
