I don't know if it's the advent of talk radio, cable TV or the internet or all 3 that have made people feel that they have to shove their opinions or beliefs down others' throats at any time.<BR/><BR/>Politics and religion have nothing to do with my job and I never really feel compelled to bring up my beliefs in that forum. But it doesn't stop a lot of my clients from bringing up theirs.dbackdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700991588554336491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-3241173827305505362008-10-30T10:43:00.000-07:002008-10-30T10:43:00.000-07:00Weird.

I've always felt to be in a minority of one - but never to the extent you guys talk about.<BR/><BR/>Funnily I was talking to a guy @ work that I've probably known for 10 years only to discover yesterday that he's a Christian.

At work I'm surrounded (like you) with people whom I just can't understand, people who are hostile to most of what I believe.<BR/><BR/>If I go to some social function at the University where Susan works, I feel somewhat closer to home.wstachourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447198404608861357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-71869585087358720572008-10-29T04:52:00.000-07:002008-10-29T04:52:00.000-07:00I completely understand.

It's one thing to want to surround yourself only with like-minded people in order to avoid dissent (which is what a lot of wingnuts on both sides do).
