Can you be friends with someone whose politics are fundamentally different from your own? Could you have sex with that person? Feel romantically towards them?

I heard this thing on NPR... I don't know, maybe 2 weeks ago... about people putting aside their politics to date. I don't even remember it anymore, but it made me almost absurdly angry - that your political stances could be considered akin to a hobby, and not even a particularly committed hobby at that. There are very few people I count among my friends with whom I differ politically on more than just priorities, and there is absolutely no way I could date someone like that. Are other people that much more poltically apathetic?

In other news. I just realized I have Brother Justin's coat; I got it at Hot Topic. And Scudder is Lydecker? Lydecker was also the wacky soldier dude in Hair, which I only recently saw in toto. The man's following me around through my teevee, I tell ya.
