Ha- I just remembered one of our earlier discussions when I realized that he didn't know the difference between Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt. If it weren't for the long hours of being stuck at work with this guy I would have given up right then. He fit the clear pattern that I've observed of people who hold right-wing beliefs they are almost always woefully ignorant when it comes to history, civics, and philosophy.

This thread seems to be going nowhere fast. Right wing people are ignorant when it comes to history, civics, and philosophy and left-wing people are uneducated and ghetto dwellers?
Back to the OP: I don't talk about politics in the workplace. If someone else brings up a political issue, I don't comment. It seems like political discussions might be necessary in a field like journalism. Is the "steer clear of political discussion" strategy at all feasible in such a field? |

Well, I happen to find remarkable ignorance or indifference to basic economics on the left and remarkable ignorance or indifference to personal autonomy issues among the "socially conservative" right. So mainly I keep my mouth shut, whether I'm at home in NY or down in GA or TX.

Let me guess... a William Randolph Hearst institution? (you don't have to answer that)
