more unobservant than the mm.......

ok, so to be more unobservant than yours truly takes some effort......but today i met up with a parent of a child who, into his second semester of college....has just recently noticed that the college of his choice is quite liberal........and this came as a surprise to this conservative family.......gentle readers........this comes as a surprise to me.....that the question of a campus's general political climate never came up during the tour(s) or the possible interview....or even the princeton review big book of colleges........and so to wake up one morning with the realization that you are basically amongst the leftist/liberal louts that you deeply despise.....well......it was all i could do not to just laugh aloud.......and this child has 3 years left after this one......now, to be honest.....this child has located his 'people' amongst the r.o.t.c. crowd.....not surprising.. but mainly, his classes are with folks who deeply disagree with his right-wing leanings, and who are likely to take him to task on most of his opinions.....after the election, we liberals must find humor where-ever we can.....and make the most of it when we can.........and somehow the image of a 19 year old right winger from a red state partially adrift amid a sea of blue-state liberals is enough to sustain me for the near future.......
