You are the type of person who enjoys smelling roses, walking through parks, watching the sunset, and all sorts of other nonchalant stuff.

In their current debate, Donna is making a strident case for stricter regulation of the banking industry and Rhonda is championing the virtues of free enterprise. I had better hitch up my jogging pants and intervene before their argument comes to blows -- again. While I do, let's ponder the source of differing political views.
