I ran ten miles today
My partner was a Republican and we discussed politics and I did not punch out her lights!

HAVE YOU ATTAINED THAT LEVEL OF SELF-MASTERY?

1. That's an unfair question
My Republican exercise partner is a woman and if I started throwing punches I'd lose my liberal card

3. My partner is mostly apolitical so I'm working on straightening her out
And I apologize to the GLBT community if that phraseology offends.

In my personal life I try not to let politics interfere with friendship.

People can disagree with me about how the world should be run but still have some core values that are important to me.

5. Yes, my running partner and I relate on exactly that basis
We weren't so different as it might seem.
