Politics and Friends

Over the years, I have learned that Politics and Friends don't mix. It can get pretty ugly when your friend suddenly gets too involved in the world of politics. Sometimes, the tension never really goes away; however, I do believe that if the person's truly is your friend, he/she wouldn't really hold your beliefs against you. We all grow up differently, and, most of the time, what we always believed in childhood never really disappears because that's how we grew up. And, along the way, when those beliefs change, it's probably because of the paths that we've chosen. There's nothing wrong with that. So, we are what we are.

With the election coming really soon, tensions are sure to fly high. It's going to get pretty ugly and I do think that hearing each other's views is important. But, politics is politics, and, please do keep it civilized.
