Brining up the idea of national healthcare at a recent family reunion started sparks flying. I didn't bring it up, but I didn't back down when quite a few folks assumed this populist posturing of keepin' the gubment out of affairs. It was debated to an inconclusive standstill and it kind of left everyone feeling empty and awkward.
Now, the Simpsons movie, that's more pleasant, even if one disagrees how good it is -- and Paris, well, everyone agrees she's this overrated "Why is she famous?"-type person that everyone can express disgust about. Obama and stuff, you pick more carefully who you have those convos with, esp. in a place where you can get fired and have your income taken from you.
