Today there has apparently been a lot of conversation about the Jeep commercial on the ball game last night. This whole thing is such a mystery to me. People are taking sides and giving their opinions of what was meant and why it was done. What about just considering what was said and how the words themselves have make people think. The fact that there has been so much discussion certainly lets us know that it struck a chord whether good or bad.

Instead of just fussing about each side what would happen if those talking could think about why this brought out so many opinions and thoughts? What if real discussion could take place and questions could be asked about what could be done to change the reality of so many splits today and why everyone has taken a “my way or the highway” position. When I was in my 20’s and 30’s people were allowed to take a different position without is causing anger and vituperation. Is there any going back? Is there any way to change? I hope to God there is.
I didn’t see it.

I didn’t either but you can see it on the internet. What I saw was all the conversation and rhetoric about it so I looked it up

Exhausted often sets in, and hubby has the remote. I just let him put on whatever he wants.

I know exactly what you mean. I just sit with him with a book or my Kindle.

I feel the same way. I hope that we can reach a place where people of all backgrounds and beliefs can come together, speak their mind, listen respectfully, and reach an agreement. I worry that we are diverging very far into the opposite direction… hopefully something can change.

I have always been a peacemaker; comes with being the middle child, I guess. People’s attitudes give me so much angst.

I hope so too. Even during Vietnam we were able to express different views without people going insane. Of course there was no influence from social media then

Sorry to be so long replying. Things are calming down not. You are so right. The media has a lot to answer for.

I don’t know if things will ever change for the better. Personally, I prefer compromise or at least respect, but people seem to need to believe that they are right – about EVERY thing – even things that cannot possibly matter.
