How does political leaning affect your daily life?

I wonder how many liberals who dine at these restaurants consider how much more difficult it is to run an independent restaurant at a profit in one of these communities, where the emphasis seems to be on punitively taxing business.

I couldn't agree with you more.

In the days when I was into politics, I considered myself a moderate. Now, I just don't give a $%^&. I live life simple, and I don't buy into all that politics stuff anymore. I used to hate far leftists and righties. I realized that this approach was ignorant. I talk to people no matter what political affiliation they are. As long as they don't try to impose their beliefs on me and try to change me, then I'm cool with them.

I am a very political person, its my major and my future jib prospects, however the biggest mistake one can make is to involve their daily life with politics. I used to do this and it is just frusterating. I am a very libertarian, freemarket, conservative, and am dating someone who is a tree hugging liberal self rightous etc. But I try to leave politics out of my day to day activities.
