I received an email from one of my friends who is a young physcian from Barcelona. She voted for Zapatero because "of the Aznar lies"..."unwilling to listen to the people"...she's not been in the real world enough time...never has traveled beyond Spain(as is true for many Spaniards except for the elite upper class)...so I can give her slack because of her reliance on the media to inform her with the truth...all I could do was respond with empathy and tell her I hoped that we as a world united can deal with terrorism...I didn't have the heart to criticize in even the most subtle way a person who is actively grieving and having to live with the choices she made... I have so much sympathy for you. I have the same kind of friend in another state. She won't read or listen to anyone that has a different POV, and her heros are socialists from Hollywood and the east coast. I tried having a conversation with her, and suggested that she at least give my POV a listen. She refuses. M
