We were definitely able to put politics on the back burner for Thanksgiving. The subject did not come up once. I'm grateful for that!

Oh no, our Thanksgiving dinner was a delightful political discussion with staunch liberals and conservatives alike. Arguing is a family tradition, and we all love it

Of course I was.... I'm not always serious, geez. What kind of person would I be if I can't be frivolous or humorous sometimes?
Besides, I want harmony in my family, and my views of politics and those that practice politics strikes up controversy in people I've never met, so I know my family would find it strange and maybe even somewhat offensive.

It crept in at our thanksgiving table the whole war on Iraq issue and the sovereignity of Israel. Got a little heated but it is great when you have the spiritual view on things.

With all the food and football, who in their right mind had time to even think of politics. Not only that, who would admit to being that big a loser?

And if somebody chooses to no longer invite me to a minimum of something because of the fact they do unlike my ideals, then oh properly.
