Sophie cries to let it all out.\u00c2\u00a0 I become cynical and apathetic.<\/p>\n
How can I find a middle-ground with someone who refuses to let the President of the United States, a position that should be respected regardless of your political stance, address their child in a pubic space?\u00c2\u00a0 Where I can start to educate an individual who enjoys their Medicare coverage on the fact that their insurance is a government plan?\u00c2\u00a0 And if those ridiculous conversations cannot be fixed by reason and rational thought, then what future do we have?<\/p>\n
I’d get mad, but I don’t think it’s going to help anything.<\/p>\n
Is it to cliche to say I’m glad to read regular folks who write about these issues (and more)?\u00c2\u00a0 So thank you for the reading, for bringing these posts to my attention, and for suggesting them for this space.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n
