The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher-man

I have a cow-orker who recently joined / converted to / purchased "x". "X" is one of the following:

1. a political party


2. a dietary choice, such as vegetarianism, veganism, Atkins diet, etc.


3. a technology, such as a hybrid car, solar panels, biofuels or ethanol.


4. a religion.

Said cow-orker has been extolling the virtues of "x" every time I see her, and attempting to convert me to same. She will not accept any arguments that contradict her view of "x", countering with straw-man or hypothetical arguments. Anyone who makes a differing choice is dangerous, immoral, and contributing to the downfall of the country and possibly the planet. While there may be positive points to her choice, I may very well have looked at "x" and decided it was not for me.

Most importantly, I don't like proselyetizers.
One of my main reasons for leaning Libertarian is stubbornness: I don't want to be told what I should think or believe. By the same token, I have no right to dictate same to others.

"X" in this case is a hybrid vehicle. If it were a bonafide religion, I could complain to Human Resources.

What I'm reading: Allan Steele, the Coyote trilogy

vitrarius or moira_ramsay may have already mentioned this, but it's too cool for me not to as well.

The West has been nominated as a "Santa Clara County volunteer group of the year" for our work at Ed Levin Park!

I knew they liked us, but I didn't expect "Sally Field" liking us!
