I certainly understand why some are adamant about keeping politics out of the discussion. I wouldn't want to try to defend some of what is going on either. I wouldn't want to hear about it, I wouldn't want to think I may have contributed to it etc. etc.
Let me just stick my head in the sand and/or compare our political climate to that of 50 years ago so I can feel better about it.
What next, we go back into the 1800s so we can feel better about the race relations in the 50's.
Whatever you have to do to make yourself feel better I guess, you do that! In other news, people are struggling even though you may not be. Tractor!
