A conversation a few days back with my friend/coworker:
Jeff: Are you a Democrat or Republican?
Me: (sarcastically) Now what do you think?
Jeff: Democrat.
Me: Umm...YEAH!
(pause)
Me: Why? What are you?
Jeff: Neither. I don't know. Whatever seems best at the time, I guess.
Me: I used to think that, you know? I didn't follow politics. I didn't know what was what. I just knew that I wanted everyone to experience the same freedoms and have the same rights. I thought that made me American. Turns out, that makes me a Liberal. Who knew?
