This is just mean of me. My informant has very strong political convictions he likes to share (or force feed). It is just that it is difficult when the whole family conspicuously vacates the room when the issue of politics (which is fairly frequently, perhaps incessantly is more apt a word) is raised in a cosy family gathering. Needless to say informant takes the podium and can go for very long periods without oxygen when delivering his views.
They have given me a medal (at least notionally) for my stoicism in the face of being force fed Republican fanfare without apparent complaint (except they don't know how shamefully I whine on klite forum boards in some thinly concealed device to elicit sympathy). Ear muffs don't cut it. My headphones would have to be switched to a volume that would be likely to result in a perforation of my eardrums, however considering the informant's ability to project his voice it is a toss up.
