Its so interesting we had that very enlightening conversation at talking to people face to face and not assuming we are enemies. Right after you left. I was there alone and an elderly bearded guy came into my booth and just started yelling at me and calling me names for being a democrat.
I'm sad to hear about that kind of confrontational behavior. The idea of acceptance without conformity just doesn't occur to such individuals.
I hope those kinds of encounters have been minimal this week.
The primary reason I stopped to say hello was because I wanted to be sure you had some positive interaction to balance out any negative ones. I'm glad I did.
Thanks again for taking the time to visit with me.
