We Americans get into being told everyday how polarized we are, and it's true, but at the same time, we are not all politically bipolar. There are differences that nonetheless can blend the bipolarized elements of our political lives.

At Starbucks just talked to an 84 yr. man who grew up in London, graduated from Bristol University in electrical engineering, came to America after being adopted in England after his biological parents were killed in Hitler's bombing of London in WWII.

Dave spent 34 yrs. with General Electric as a field engineer, which means he had to fix electrical problems in the real world around the world. Fascinating stuff about which I know nothing.

Anyway, his political views transcend left and right, a fascinating mixture of both sides.

I learn not to prejudge people. Listen to them first. Draw people out and you can be exposed to different perspectives due to different education and life experiences. Disagreements can be there but understanding can lead to understanding, if you know what I mean.
