Don't you hate when someone stops you and says "We need to talk."  It's a sure sign the conversation about to take place is not going to be pleasant.  Fear chills through your body sparked by the notion you will be sitting down to a buffet of consequences.  But we know having the conversation is always for the best.  Delaying difficult discussions only makes the underlying problem harder to fix.  It's the  "Never go to bed angry" philosophy.

Well...we need to talk.

    Open political discussion is long overdue don't you think?  I know mom always told you not to discuss religion and politics, but she also said your face would stay contorted if you kept making "that face."  Sometimes you really need to make that face; And sometimes you really need to talk politics.  If you don't communicate with your spouse or significant other, than your relationship will look rather like our state and country...a mess.  All we talk about are the obstacles  facing us...that means we've taken our eyes off the goal.  It's time to let me help you refocus.

Just look at me as your political therapist.  I'm now accepting referrals.
