This diary is the reflection of a Saturday early afternoon that started with a laptop, the internet, a spreadsheet and ended with a bottle of beer and two peole who suddenly understood.
Today I sat down with my neighbor, having a chat about the weather, life and what else was going on in the world. Of course we also talked about what's going on right now in this country. About how bad the economy still is, how many people are still without a job and that the only way to get this country back on track is to vote those Democrats out of office and get our country back...
Well, wait a minute! Seriously? Was that really what I heard?
It was exactly what I heard, my neighbor is (well, was, but I will explain that later) not only a Republican, he also thinks (thought, again... later) that the Tea Party is a good thing.
And this is how a discussion unfolded. A discussion that I want to summarize...
