WHY I REFUSE TO TALK POLITICS WITH MY NEW FRIENDS IN CUENCA

When I retired and moved to Cuenca, I made the resolution to not talk politics at all, with anyone, for any reason.

And, I have done a pretty good job of that.

“Why?” You ask.

Well, if you are a:
- Gay rights supporting
- Gun toting
- Pro choice
- Redneck
- Liberal
- Harley riding
- Agnostic
- Well educated with multiple degrees
- Left wing
- Cigar smokin’
- Smart ass
- PInko
- Male Chauvinist Pig

Well, it’s pretty safe bet that you are going to piss off just about everyone.

So, if anyone starts talking politics with me, I usually say ....... “Nice shoes. Where did you get them?” Because hell, everyone likes to talk about their shoes!

ON THE OTHER HAND.....
Everyone likes Brennie!

Ciao,

    Well said Brennie, Kathy and I could not agree more! We feel there is no place for politics or religious preference in a conversation.
