Politics is bleeding more and more into everything we do, and that is not always a good thing. In fact, it is rarely a good thing because of the way politics is being practiced today. Folks in the middle understand that just because someone doesn’t agree with our position, they’re not a bad person – yet, the political rhetoric in the media-sphere says just the opposite.
On my way to work this morning, I listened to the ‘Mike and Mike’ show on ESPN radio for about ten minutes. I don’t know if the topic of unions dominated the conversation any longer than the ten minutes I was listening, but what I heard was a disturbingly angry translation of political talking-points into the NFL negotiations that are being held now. The talk was tinged by what is happening in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states. It was just plain odd (or maybe it was just me?).
Watch out! Until we get some adults leading the discussion, we’re not going to have adult conversations about anything.
