Off limits

Discussing politics at a summer gathering isn't a good idea, especially if you're not like minded on every twisted issue, which is why I don't bring up such things.  And yet, there I found myself, trying to change the subject, trying to stay neutral and get back to enjoying the day.

It was like doing a Kaboki dance, exhausting.  American political culture has become unhealthy and unproductive.  We're divided and subdivided on every issue, where honest discussion of issues is gone.

Throw in a biased and corrupt media and you've got shark infested waters, just waiting for the next feeding frenzy.

Such is the state of the world, and why healthy discourse has become off limits.
