Now for some politics. In our starkly polarized civic moment, it is nearly impossible NOT to be political. Even our conversations at board meetings, in the kitchen and grocery store are happening in a backdrop of tension and uncertainty. We drop our voices now when we want to make certain comments in a public setting. We look at strangers with an implied questions: "Who's side are you on?" Some of us view the sitting president as a rogue, imposter or even treasonous. Others literally think him to be God's gift to the nation. Where to begin?
