I used to keep my opinions to myself, only sharing them with my closest friends. Then I realized that was a mistake. It was once widely advised to avoid discussing politics. I think that is why we have so many problems now. We don't know how our neighbors think. So we have been in the dark for years. I have decided that I would rather be stung. Then to watch our country slide back 100 years to a Time When Justice Was for some. And the notion that the rich are always right. And where politicians use misguided knowledge of religion to justify anything they want to do.

I was brought up not to discuss that.

It's hard not to talk politics, considering it's front and center in our everyday lives. Our youngest daughter is married to a man who continues to fight for his freedom. He fears being deported daily, even though he works, has a driver's license, supports his family, and obeys the law. Of course, you don't have to be an immigrant to be at risk for deportation, just pissing off the head honcho can get you jailed or worse.
