You poor thing.

My daughter teaches in Wyoming. (and I did for many years) This conversation would NEVER happen in her teachers' lounge. The liberal is the "odd man out" around here. The "odd man" in this part of the country keeps his own counsel. (The Jackson Hole area is a rare exception.)

What's really funny is that these guys are all aging longhairs who like to listen to one of their number pick affectedly at his guitar in the lounge at lunchtime sometimes. I came in one day and thought "I have never seen so many greying ponytails in one place before."

I have also noticed more than once that if you do engage them in debate they talk faster, louder, they stop looking you in the eye, and often their hands begin to shake. It's really freaky.
