At a recent party I was chatting with another guest who bought up politics and as his first shot said that he used to work with a very conservative guy and that the guy was a hypocrite because even though he opposed the government being in the health care business he used medicare as much as possible. I answered that there is hypocrisy everywhere for instance when someone espouse a belief that we have to do something about global warming but has a vacation home or flies to Europe for vacation. Because I’m not quick enough I didn’t bring up the hypocrisy of sending your children to private school while opposing charter schools or opposing the second amendment while surrounded by armed guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
