120 – Pick Your Battles

OK! Today a listener of this show, and a former Mantoree suggested that I do an episode about picking our battles. In light of the current political climate…I would have to agree. You can’t browse social media these days without seeing something offensive or contrary to your way of thinking…regardless of what you believe in. I have a lot of Facebook friends, the majority of whom live in Norway, but I also have lots of relatives and friends on social media as well…as we all do. Right now, on my social media platforms about half of everything I have to look at is political in nature. Many express wildly different viewpoints. Some are ok, just people making a point or expressing support for their candidate, while others are horrible, bordering on vile and insulting. Some people broadcast insults with a very broad brush and include everyone who supports either candidate. This, of course incites an equally vile, defensive response, and America as a whole drifts further apart.
