[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 561184, member: 1233"] I flat out refuse to discuss elections. I have had to tell one person that I know is a volunteer working at elections that if they EVER again brought up my voting record then I would file a complaint. This person has actually gone and looked up to see what elections I did and did not vote in. It is HUGELY inappropriate for anyone to do this, and I haven't had any conversation witht his person since then. I just felt violated when they started telling me about this, and I still feel violated. I grew up with parents who would discuss BOTH sides of an election, or all parties. I was taught that simply asking which party someone is for is a huge violation of that person's rights. There is no way I would discuss my choices, and even husband and I rarely discuss our opinions. husband agrees with me, and when we discuss elections with our kids we are careful to give equal treatment to the options in the election so that our children can make their own choices and will not be bound to our beliefs. husband and I have NEVER asked each other how we vote, and we loathe the political fanatics who seem to be rather rabid to us. I honestly don't know why people are so upset by this election, nor do I want to. I am sorry for those of you who have been the victim of the rabid fanatics. [/QUOTE]
