I've all but cut off being with one of my friends because of the family that moved in next door. Don't get me wrong... I like the family. Have known them for over 10 years. We've helped each other out time after time. But the wife "doesn't do politics" and the hubby (whom I"d always like and respected) came out as a true blue no-nothing libertarian who'll argue against doing what needs to be done for the right reasons for people in need. IOW, everyone for themselves. I can't live like that; I can't agree with the sentiment. And since the idiot came floating down that golden escalator in 2015, I've suffered enough PTSD under his reign, I no longer trust myself not to say something totally appropriate for me and like-minded believers, but totally inappropriate for everyone else. So, I just stay away. And still, I want to believe that this highly intelligent individual can finally grow up enough to understand that Ayn Rand needs to be left behind in the trash once one hits the age of at least 16.
