The really bad part is I had to allow space on my bookshelf for noam chomsky books. I got to hear how wonderful fdr was and the constant term “social safety net” policies quite often. She is a big believer in the 2nd Amdendment, though. I just could never get her to buy in on the other truth.
I just refused to go out with a guy who quoted Noam Chomsky to me on the phone. I guess I saved myself the trouble you went through. :-)
