Consider this thought when talking politics...



"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle


It is amazing to me how angry and ignorant people can be once they start talking politics (on both sides of the political spectrum). If you want to argue...then argue, but if you have a question that you truly want answered, ask the question and listen to the reponse/answer. I've been watching political interviews and it is so incredible to notice that so many questions were actually unanswered because the PRESIDENTIAL/VP Candidates were rudely inturrupted or cut off. Can we please show a little respect for these people by letting them finish there sentences no matter how long they are (S. Mccain) or how much you stutter (S. Obama). =-)


MAY we all be reminded that there are equally important parts of communication:


  • Sending messages (via words, pictures, hand gestures, etc.) &

  • Recieving messages (LISTENING!!!! Interpreting, and analyzing)
