I looked up reflecting on what I just read. The phone rang and it was poor Lois from Democrat Whatever asking me about whether I am committed to voting all blue in November’s election. I replied, “As far as I know.” She very insistently asked me to be more specific and I told her that I didn’t want to. She gotta little huffy and rephrased her question slower. I replied a firm “NO.” You see, Lois is a stranger and I don’t have to discuss politics with her.
