I miss the days where two people could agree to disagree, change the topic to an area of neutral alliance, and later part as friends, or at least distant cousins who see each other at funerals and weddings–a civil framework where disagreement does not have to be disagreeable. That does not appear to be the norm anymore, and I don’t know if I am more sad than mad, OR if I am gradually coming to understand something very important about the world I now apparently inhabit.
