We have a very interesting banker. He’s been our banker for a number of years, but it was just this year that I learned he is the age of the son we lost on New Year’s Eve. I’d never given any thought to how “young” Joe is. He’s good at what he does, and brings a wealth of experience to the table.
\nToday, he guided me through the steps to accomplish something that our business required, and then we drifted into more general conversation. It lead to the fact that we are both dissatisfied with the options we have in the voting booth. I started to say that I felt the welfare system needs to be overhauled, but he felt that it needed to be closed down! We frequently see things alike, but it turns out that he is a Libertarian, while I am a Centrist.

\nand sometimes support individual freedom of choice.

\ntend to oppose “political extremes,” and emphasize what
\nthey describe as “practical” solutions to problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
