Sometimes, life throws lemons at us and other times, it throws lemonade at us.... Yes, life can get a bit sticky! My mom always taught me never to discuss politics, religion, or race. But, I have found that not discussing these topics with friends and strangers leads to a pretty dull life. Sometimes, it is more fun to live outside the cultural "norms". Yes, one has to be careful on what they state, to a certain extent.
Today, I was, once again, pleasantly surprised in a conversation with a friend of mine. I have known him and his wife for about 2 years now, but we have never really gotten into politics before. Our sons are inseparable, playing together every moment that they can. Yet, in all that time, we have never really discussed politics. I am not really sure why? They know I write, wear my opinions on my sleeves and am not afraid to speak my opinion to anyone. Since they had never made a comment on Facebook, Twitter, Google, or any other social media, I just assumed they had no interest in politics.
