Why the family conflicts now??

5. Vent it!

Best way I've found to clear your soul.

Encounters like that just muddy us all up.

Been reading comments on news articles and at other sites (I have not done that much in the past but I want to see the decline in discourse others report out there) and I am amazed at the things people post.

The "liberals are responsible for everything bad" meme is thick with a few folks. They never explain themselves or seem to have any logic, merely this creepy, dark loathing for "liberals."

And you just know every one of them is probably surviving on some program a "liberal" made sure they had.

And the racism is unbelievable. The racists are out of the closet and just loony. Apparently they believe there is a war on white people and the media is covering it up. Fear is rampant. The media are only telling "us" about white on black/hispanic crime, according to these paranoids, and whites are in serious danger.

But they're not racist.

You can't reason with people who are full of fear, and who use bigotry to try to soothe it. Most of them really are afraid. If they would get afraid of the right things, and direct their venom toward what's really threatening them, they could be a force. But they would rather choose to focus on skin color and whomever their TV/Radio tells them should be the enemy today.

In your situation the son humiliated himself. "If you say it, own it." If he can't defend his beliefs, no use blaming you. He should go eat his burnt pork chop and hush!
