Most people on this forum are probably so young that they don't know much about, if they even have heard of, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart.

These two guys were EXTREMELY prolific and popular movie actors of the thirties on into the seventies.

Jimmy Stewart volunteered for the military as soon as WWII broke out and was about as conservative as they come. Henry Fonda was about as politically opposite from Jimmy Stewart as anyone could be. They became VERY close friends. In interviews later in life, they both said that they recognized VERY early in their friendship that they were total political opposites, so they just avoided politics and went on with their friendship.

Over the years, I have worked closely with and been close friends with MANY screaming left liberals. I've just sort of avoided politics like Henry and Jimmy did and moved on with it.

I work for an automation company headquartered in a city, far, far away. My office is in a plant in a small town near home. My main contact at the plant, in the office next door to mine, is pretty far left, but a great guy. We have LOTS of mutual respect for each other. His wife and my wife have served together in some charitable organizations and his kids know my kids. We have lots of mutual friends and acquaintances. We get along great with an occasional friendly, and very light jab at one another about politics. I would trust him with anything I own and I'm sure he would do the same with me.

On this forum, there have been some very nasty exchanges that have set me off and formed the "online personality" you see on this forum. I believe that MANY of my political opposites on this forum, if they spent time with me on a daily basis, I could find a way to deal with them ammicably.
