>okay. maybe... people you really care about have very different views to you and you are afraid you would offend them / upset them if you expressed your opinions?
No. its definately not that, as I often discuss politics with people I really care about.. I was bought up "discussing" politics with my dad, who loved to take an opposing view just for the fun of the debate. To discuss politics with people who agree with you is dull, as how can learn, and even *shock horror*, change your views.. I love to debate and discuss (and if nothing else I learn a hell of alot about US politics *L*).
Maybe, part of it (pondering as I write) is that I am worried about peoples reactions to me disagreeing with them? Does that make sense?
One other point that has just sprung into my mind, is about PB being *everything* to *all* people, and how maybe it should stick at what its good at ("support and education", and I so wish I could have italicised those words!).
Hmm..
