T and I don't have deep discussions about politics but we have touched on it a little..such as when she was first moved to our area (she has lived here 2 years ago) I was talking about how I hate that I have to go so late at night to vote in an area where I am not comfortable. It lead to a brief discussion of who the candidates are as T really didn't know anybody or what they stood for and she moved right at voting time.

The other times it is because we both work in the mental health field and I mentioned how the current economy has effected our patients and therefore the stress of our work. Also how the whole Obama care will effect our clients/patients vs. the hospital and ability to make ends meet. But it is never anything major just something that occasionally morphs from other discussions... Sometimes we can start on a topic and it morphs into something totally different.
