30 Something Baby Doc

The rear brakes on my SUV were failing, so I had to make another expensive trip to the Cadillac dealer for service. I'm amazed at how a Cadillac dealership in the day time hours is a haven for wealthy retirees to reminisce about past glory while their cars are being repaired. If it wasn't for the retirees, athletes and overconsumptive young professionals (myself), Cadillac would be out of business. I was waiting for my brakes to be repaired and reading a chapter in He's Just Not That Into You (very entertaining book). There was a pleasant elderly man on my left and a very conservative and overly chatty elderly lady on my right. They were talking about past glory. Bush's address to the nation was on TV. Then the topic of conversation switched to politics. I held my tongue. The Elderly man mentioned he and his brother were born and raised republican, but after is brother moved to California he became more liberal in his views. The elderly lady then began to denounce liberals, saying, "I don't know what's wrong with those people in California, it's just horrible, they believe in killing babies, gay marriage, I hope they all fall off the country and find themselves in Hell"

I had to pleasantly remind her that our country would be a lonely place if the latter were to happen, because 49% of the U.S. voters would be roasting in Hell. OUCH

It's truly painful watching that man speak in public.
