My mom, who's conservative (so she says), agrees with me on the oil spill and that we should avoid BP like a plague. I was surprised that she agreed with me even when I said that it's not exactly the President's job to clean it up. I said that afterwards it will probably fall into the hands of the judicial system and probably the UN when it comes to the lawsuits. Then a few days ago, I was listening to all of my uncle talk about it and they all think it's the President's fault and that he is not their President. My boyfriend and I quietly left that conversation.

Anyway, I know politics is something that shouldn't be brought up unless you know each others' views beforehand. Work is not the place to talk about politics and religion. I try to avoid politics, because I know people have different views and I don't want to piss people off.
