Don't BE the Turkey on Thanksgiving!

"We surround ourselves with an invisible community of the "elect" who share our convictions, and convince ourselves that even our closest and beloved relatives are not only wrong, but enemies of goodness itself."

That's why Thanksgiving is an opportunity for shouting and even bloodshed!

The quote up top is from an article in The Week, which advises folks NOT to discuss politics at the Thanksgiving table, even if you are goaded into doing so by the crotchety old Uncle visiting from Duluth...or from Montgomery!

And The Washington Post has a feature that includes examples of how talking politics on Thanksgiving can cause decades long family splits.

Happy Thanksgiving!
