Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. -Proverbs 4:7
Politics can be an awkward thing to discuss when we disagree, yet it is absolutely necessary that we get awkward with one another and work to find common points of view. Even if we have complicated disagreements about what we think government is and what it should do.
To that end, I want to provide resources that will be useful to you no matter where you stand politically or ideologically.
If we remain uninformed about the critical issues of our day, we are asking our politicians to tell us simple lies because we don't have time for complicated truths.
Take the time to inform yourself and make up your own mind about issues that matter to you. Learn to exercise influence on your elected representatives and ennoble better candidates to run for office.
Or, just have better, more substantial political discussions with less shouting.
- John Hastie
