I often wonder, what our opinions would be of others WITHOUT the influence of the media. If we just got to know them as people without all the influence of media. I talking politicians whether they are left, right or independent; neighbors whether they are black, brown, white, yellow, LGBTQ. Jesus said Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself. It is what I strive for daily in all my interactions with others. When I come across someone who doesn't think like me, I try to get curious and ask them questions. What do you like about XYZ? I don't need to respond. I've learned it's ok to just listen.

I wonder this all the time too. Mainstream media is the largest cause of our current divide. It makes me sad to hear people’s beliefs that mimic what the news tells them rather than the truth.

Thank goodness for Sharon and other independents who share the facts. I love the curiosity approach.

Do you just smile and listen if they say racist things? Personally my moral code requires me to draw a line regarding some "differences of opinion."
