Political Discussion Dividing Families

Last night was the celebration of my Grandmother's ninetieth birthday. Bless her energy and wit. I've met some ninety-year olds who can't put a sentence together or dress themselves, but my grandma not only plays with a full deck, but has the poker face to boot. I spoke to family that I haven't seen in nearly twenty years and some of whom I've never even met. So what does one speak about at these things? Normal people will often discuss the usual topics: the kids, the job, the new car, the weather. What are the universal taboos of all family reunion subjects? We all know that you never discuss politics, religion and or money. These days, it is impossible for me to refrain from discussing politics. I can usually avoid money and religion because I have neither.
Most people who are lucky enough to have a large family like myself, can boast the diversity inherent. Diversity in philosophy, social status and education, not to mention character and personality. These days, however, the very articles of diversity can drive a steak into the heart of the closest kin. For example, a holiday gathering one day erupted into a conflagration of name calling and verbal abuses. Mostly the Republicans against me. Any of my younger cousins or nephews who claim allegiance to liberalism were silent. The biggest complaint that I have to this day is when confronted with the facts, they call me names, refer to Michael Moore and blame it all on Clinton.

Soon I will be forging ahead in the life poli-sci, one day maybe I will make a difference. I will chip away at the ignorance until I get at the "soft white underbelly". Then I can caress the ignorant to sleep and they will awaken refreshed and liberal.
