Random Thought...

So I am sitting in class last week, and the conversation led to my blog. One student was surprised that I was a conservative. She did not say why. Maybe there really are not that many conservatives in the mental health field, what a surprise. Another student said she was conservative as well. And, yet a third student said she really wanted to read my blog. She described herself as a liberal, and she loved the topic of politics. I gave her the address and she wrote it down. I told her it will probably piss her off. She said it probably would not, she only gets mad when other people try to force their beliefs and morals on her. I did not say anything. I just let it go. And now I have been stewing over this for at least a week.

I cannot come up with any situation, ever when another person forced their morals or beliefs on me. Come to think of it, I do not think that is possible. Am I wrong? How can another person force beliefs or morals upon you? How can another person force you to think a certain way? Can someone hold you down and make you believe the sky is green with pink polka-dots?

It probably came down to a religious issue. The left thinking the right is forcing a belief system on the masses. Bottom-line: it is pray not prey, the inquisition is over, and The Crucible was a made-up play by Arthur Miller.

Am I wrong?
