7. Indeed...

I am going through this with an elderly well educated gentleman who likewise frequents the dogpark. I never wanted to talk politics with him, but over the past year and a half he has continually diverted discussions in that direction and of course, it has ended quite badly. Now, he makes everyone uncomfortable since he won't even look at me, much less talk to me, even as others direct group conversation to both of us. His wife is a kindly lady with early Alzheimers, who apparently has Faux on all day. She is a classic 50s style housewife by nature and doesn't really enter into discussion. The husband has taken to glaring at me, even when I greet his wife and make small talk

Uggh.
