Today, I find myself in Orem, Utah at a dance class at the local recreation center. There are all kinds of people here, but of course the majority is of the conservative Mormon persuasion.
I am proudly wearing my pink Obama/Dalai Lama t-shirt, and during a break in the class, an older woman peers at it curiously and asks who is on my shirt. I tell her, and she recoils a bit with a horrified look and asks "do you actually support them?"
"Yes," I say. "didn't you hear? They're running on the same ticket."
Needless to say, that was the end of our short conversation.
And the music played on......
