Politics really doesn't affect everyday life so much, which is one of the things that drives me nuts about the "taking sides" thing. These are all just PEOPLE, you know? Everyone has their own stories and backgrounds that make them believe the things they do, and it makes perfect sense from their own standpoint, and more often than not they're good people honestly trying to do the right thing. If we listened to each other more and tried to understand each other, we could find better solutions for everything. I don't know if I'm a "stronger" person as much as I'm just good at seeing the good in people and not writing them off for the bad.
If society should fall into a post-apocalyptic struggle for survival, I'm afraid our world views would finally pull Jason and I apart, because he'd want to set up a homestead and defend it from scavengers, and I'd want to form a collective and share everything. But until then, our real everyday conflicts revolve more around vegetables and vocal volume.
