What really makes me shake my head is the venom being spewed from both sides of the fence and I'm starting to lose hope that we'll ever get to the point where ANY discussion of substance can begin with this sentence....."I respect your opinion, however......"
I see it played out virtually everywhere I go. I stopped being part of social media because of it. The second any discussion about politics came up, it quickly degraded into name calling and ugliness.
We're human beings and all have biases and I'll be the first to admit it takes effort on my part to consciously tell myself "There are always two sides to every story." I just wish there was more critical discussion and less hatred.

That is precisely why we decided that politics were no longer to be allowed on Camaro5, back in the fall of 2008.
