I completely disgraced myself at a friend's birthday party by sounding off about the bankers, capitalism, and then challenging someone who made a throw away remark about people with learning difficulties.It's not the first time I have 'been serious' at a dinner party when people just want to have a 'good time'. I refused invitations for a long time because I couldn't trust myself to keep my big mouth shut.
I am pretty sure I won't get invited again for a long time if ever.
I do feel guilty about my life style. I am lucky. Do I have to learn not to judge other people?
But I really can't bear to let people get away with being misogynist, racist or homophobic.
And I will always stand up for socialism especially when I am faced with millionaires.
I haven't decided about computers. They do enable communications. But isn't there something about the manufacture that is iffy?
I have tried to be an ostrich but you know what they say, 'When you know, you can't not know'.
Now I have to negotiated xmas without compromising my principals and without offending friends.
