Often discussions about political and societal issues come to an impasse, even anger. At first the discussion is about the problem, why it is a problem and then degrades from there. Blaming, finger pointing, name calling ensue. Sigh. The discussion breaks down. At this point so many issues become a battle ground and the two parties walk away convinced the other party is incredibly wrong (or ignorant or stupid or a communist or a socialist or a red neck, I am sure you have been there). Nothing gets resolved. Another layer of bricks is added to the wall separating people.
