I agree about not shoving political views down people's throat, but it is a curious thing how in our society we are rarely able to discuss politics in a constructive manner. People often take offense immediately if they do not agree with another's political perspective and disregard the opportunity to discuss them. It seems like we miss and opportunity as a society.

There are plenty of opportunities for folks to embroil themselves in political discussion (which usually devolves into personal attacks) on the web. It's a pleasure to visit a site that doesn't get into that. Thanks for your enjoyable observations on our town and for your decision to leave politics off the site.
