Re. 11873 -

Why not just let him do it? His truck won't be offended by any dirty looks it gets.

'Course I'm careful not to express any decided political opinion at work (surprised?). I'm afraid that some whackjob in management might fire my ass if he or she gets word.

Well, hell, Concerned, anyone out of the center range of political beliefs goes through that. I remember when I worked at Ohio PIRG (believe it or not, I was the office conservative) that when I started making reasoned points about genetically modified food they all looked at me like I'd just suggested we carve Adolf Hitler's face on Mount Rushmore.

People don't want to hear what they don't agree with, sometimes.

concerned, I can relate to your situation at the office. I was a closet Democrat for 30 years at a U.S. car company.

I wouldn't have as much to say if he weren't a teacher. My kids know my opinions (and his know his), but I try not to beat them over the head with them.

I think I've offended a person or two in the lounge, not for my opinions, but I can be snotty about them without meaning to be. It's all y'all's fault, though. I know I wasn't like that before I started posting in the Fray. ;-)

Ouch, who' is that man, Whiz?

11883. wonkers2 - 10/31/2004 12:31:48 AM

Could it be Cap'n Dirty?

11884. Magoseph - 10/31/2004 1:33:48 PM

The Cap'n is tall and still very good-looking, Wonk. Take my word--I know.

He's the result of a Google image search on the word "snotty," Mags.

Good one!

11891. alistairconnor - 11/2/2004 2:25:34 PM

Ah well shall we talk about something else today?

11892. PelleNilsson - 11/2/2004 2:44:56 PM

Let's talk about death, graves and epitaphs.

How lucky you are. Can I also delete my posts if I feel the need to?

11894. Magoseph - 11/2/2004 3:06:56 PM

In a way, you can, Marc--just ask your friendly host to do it for you.
