Dear Miss Manners: I went to stay with a dear friend of many years who had moved several states away. Never having stayed at her house before, I was dismayed to find that the television in the main living area was on ALL the time.
The political views expressed were very extreme. It was also very loud, because her husband is hard of hearing. I knew they supported a different political party, but we never actually talked politics in the past, and it is only recently that politics have become so divisive.
