Sadness

I just unfriended a person I have know for some time now.  Although she is well meaning and is what I would call decent and nice, she none-the-less subscribes to some ideas from the right wing of the republican party that I find offensive.  After some time trying to get some agreement on reality that would serve as a basis for further discussions and possible agreement I deemed it a fools errand and pulled the unfriended switch.  This is the second time I have had to do this with some that I have known in the past and it does indeed make me sad.
