I do believe the media tend to dramatize everything (for the ratings no doubt) which leads one to believe that the "other side" in politics has three heads and hates puppies. Often they are, like you say, ordinary folk who aren't much different than ourselves.<br /><br />Then again, there are evil people out there.

He said "Thanks Tom, you really changed my mind on that!" I responded that I don't do it to with that in mind, I do it because I like posting. <br /><br />Keep on posting/blogging of a political nature when you feel it, despite the challenges, and with little concern about upsetting any familial apple carts. My friend might "unfollow" me, but your brothers can't "unbrother" you.
