Growing up in my family we were required to discuss politics and religion with one caveat you better be able to defend your position. Now discussing what was the better receipe could get you in real trobule so most of us stayed away from that topic.

My Dad's childhood friend was a conservative Republican and my Dad a liberal Democrat which created some major arguments between them. But when they were done they were done and they never let it come between them I understand they were friends however, we obviously have lost our ability to have serious discourse in this country understanding that it purpose is to decide solutions to serious issues. We need to get back to that type of dialogue. We need to lighten up we need more humor and we need to whistle more. My Dad always whistled. People don't whistle anymore.
