Lesson today about not being judgemental

I had coffee today with an utterly charming asian girl who wanted to talk about her future career (as she may, when graduated, follow the career I picked).

Now on paper, an asian girl who is on the equal opportunities committee at university, is about as far away from a libertarian conservative like me, as it's possible to be.

Yet, it turns out she is incredibly determined, intelligent, and in my view, pretty much wholly likeable, (as well as being profoundly beautiful). Why she's not a conservative, I'll never know?

So we spent a couple of hours chatting and the only downside was that I bought the wrong ticket for the train home, and had to persuade the conductor that I wasn't some fare-dodger type.

So, memo to self, stop judging people until you know them.

Then judge them.
