And I have to stop and think, "Is this a battle I can win? Is this a battle worth me fighting at this time? Am I betraying my liberal ideals by letting such statements go unchallenged?"<br /><br />And the truth is, yes. I am. But I have to, in order to get through my day without being the office pariah / on the short list to get fired.petplutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053307189721906583noreply@blogger.com
