In a forum that has evolved as this has -- into a political forum, there is little chance for ever striking up friendships with any who don't hold your political POV

????????? I have no trouble being friends with poeple who don't hold the same views I do. Politically, muscially, religiously. In fact, that would probably describe MOST of my friends. D*mn close to ALL of them.

I even have friends who *shudder* think of televised wrestling as the height of entertainment.
