I had a thought. What do people talk about? It has been said that you can talk about anything except Poiltics and religion. It is presumed that it is because of the heated disscussions that can insue. Yet when with my friends, we talk more or less lightly about various things but never too deep. As a matter of fact, while gathered the other night, a friend said that we could and should make a radio show of our random discussions. "It would be funny," was how it was discribed. So it occured to me that at one time people did not have TV, radio, or even much in the way of books, not to mention the light at night to do so. Did they sit around making cude jokes and picking on each other? Or did they discuss the day's work? Maybe they broke the rule and discussed politics. I tend to believe that they discussed inportant issues like wether the US should get involved in the war with Spain of Mexico. I know that would sit and disscuss the latest news from big cities. So why was it good for them but we have refrain from it?
I simply believe it is because we don't want to make a stand. These folks knew less that we did becausethey did not have the rapid flow of info that we have today. But they had oppinions about politics and religion. They were wrong at times but atleast they stood for something.
Do you stand for something? Do you speake out about it? If not, don't let the "rule" of politics and religion: banned get in your way.
