What do you do when you're at a public place...
...minding your own business and some idiot nearby starts going on about the wonders of Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly?

Tell him to shut the hell up or put on a pair of headphones and start listening to music?

I had that today at Panera Bread where someone started going on about those two right wing gas bags. I put on a pair of headphones, found an Internet radio station, and turned it up until I could no longer hear him.

7. Never had that problem
since I don't live in the US anymore but if I were to encounter said situation, I would remind myself that we all have a right to free speech and then move as far away from the nitwits, ASAP!
