Haha, Ed, I've done that as well a few times in Election year, "playing dumb" and asking questions on American politics, etc. A nice conversation opener in the Dining Car. Love your story about the screaming lady.An interesting train of thoughts. I find facebook to be an echo chamber for me... rather than arguments, I seem to get similar cosy viewpoints to my own. I am often surprised, shocked, by how many folk have opposite views to my own, in the real world. Riding in coach on my last visit across America, I found it interesting to "play dumb", and ask apparently naive questions of my fellow passengers to stimulate debates on politics, building walls, guns, trumpery, etc. I confess to having to request one woman to stop yelling at me, and return to her seat!
Ed.
