We love to discuss our opinions politely and usually with a few drinks. In all my time on this Earth I think I have invited a friend to church once. They say Episcopalians invites someone to church every 13 years and it is very true. I find that we all want the same thing out of life which is peace and a good drink. I choose people who are open and respectful of my views and I must give the same to them. I ware many labels so I have a lot in common with people.
