he's smart, but he doesn't know everything.

the boss was treating us to lunch. at one point, to unsettle the silence caused by a gap in age and hierarchy, he asked us about politics. i don't normally like talking about politics, but i commented. he said i was wrong. maybe i was. he's made condescending comments about everyone in their absence. it would be stupid for me to think he doesn't do the same to me. talking politics and ethics from atop a pedestal, it's something to see. as he rang up the bill, the waiter stared off at the wall, not smiling, like he wasn't sure if life is worth it. i could say some things here, and someone could probably argue against them, but does it really matter?
