Talking politics
From my friend Jerry:
I read recently that the United States is more politically divided today than it has been at any time in it’s history since the civil war. I read that many friends and families can’t even sit down to a decent meal and have a civil discussion about the politics of the day without someone storming off before dessert.
Today via numerous outlets all of us can get our current views and prejudices reinforced daily by seeking out like minded media and conversation.
…
How about we all try a little listening. How about we all, just one time every day or so, engage someone who we know has a different perspective from ours and listen to what they have to say.
No seriously, really listen.

I seldom talk about politics with anyone because of the general inability to be civil about it.
