Play it cool but when the topics come up you can easily take them over and at the very least get our side out which they probably have never heard.You can also document most of what you say which will be impossible for them.
Many of us do it all the time.
We have to spread the gospel of freedom and capitalism! There are only a handful of us that will.
Thank you for responding. I will take your points now and begin to prepare myself with information and facts, and even a ‘map” of the mideast.
That alone will help me calm down and feel less vulnerable emotionally.
I realize from your post that I have given their ignorance and apathy much more power than they deserve. Perhaps I can change my “disgust” with them into a stance of compassionately educating them.
thanks again.
