Grandpa: You are a wise man. Let's talk about fish. For whatever reasons your stellar logic and wit have moved me not one whit. And I suspect my well-laid arguments have not converted you to a pink suited liberal. Let's just give up.

Here are the articles I propose for our treaty:

1. Whereas we can agree that most politicians are immoral, power hungry tools of their respective parties.

2. Whereas we can agree that neither party’s president will solve all our problems, catch us many more fish or help with weight loss.

3. Whereas we agree that our time could be better spent fishing

4. Whereas we are both pig headed, old farts who are unlikely to ever change our minds

We hereby agree to stop arguing politics. (Until such time comes that we just can’t help ourselves.) So help us God, Allah, Mohammed, Mother Nature or no deity at all.
