I had to put blogging aside for a time. I found that writing about politics often causes me to struggle with anger. The more I write about Obamacare or gun control, the less and less I want to treat people on the other side of the aisle with respect.
But that’s the whole point of this blog. I want to be a person who is active in politics who does not mock, scorn, and belittle the other side. I want to be a person who speaks with respect. More important, I want to be a person who disagrees with respect.
So, I’ll try again. I will write in a way that demonstrates decency and kindness, or I won’t write.
