Political Views, by Michael Angier
The 2004 election here in the U.S. is heading down the home
stretch. The rhetoric is ratcheting up, the volume is
increasing, and we're all looking for it to being over.
Nonetheless, I'm fascinated by politics. Not just as a game, but
because I believe it really does have a significant impact on
our lives and our history.
What would have happened if John Breckinridge had been elected
president in 1860 instead of Abraham Lincoln? We don't know, of
course, but it would be fair to assume that things would have
been different.
We're often advised not to bring up politics or religion in
social or workplace conversations. The fear is that we'll
alienate others or cause friction and discomfort.
What we need to do is learn to discuss politics--or any other
sensitive subject for that matter--in ways that do not DIVIDE
but rather increase the collective understanding.
I don't think we should avoid these types of discussions. I
think we should embrace them. I love what Lady Bird Johnson
said, "The sound of freedom is the clash of ideas."
All that's required is that we listen to what others have to
say, value and consider their viewpoint and respectfully offer
our own ideas without condemning or denigrating the people we're
speaking with.
There's nothing wrong with having strong convictions. But we all
need to be tolerant and respectful of those who have different
ones.
It's easier said than done, I agree. But if we're really intent
on being a civilized society, we need to increase our tolerance
and work diligently to get along with other people.
I have a number of close friends who are politically opposed to
many of my own beliefs. But I've learned a lot by listening to
what they have to say and why they think the way they do. And
I know they've learned from our discussions as well. But this
can only happen if we listen to and respect one another.
No political party or religion is all right or all wrong. No one
has the corner on the truth. And no one is served by demonizing
any particular group.
Democracy is sometimes messy. But as bitterly divided as our
country seems to be, we're not about to go to war to resolve our
differences as we did in 1861. We really ARE making progress.
We can reduce divisiveness, expand our knowledge and create more
elegant solutions if we slow down, look for common ground, speak
responsibly and respect others' points of view.
And it starts with us.
