Recently it was asked by interviewers, if they spoke about politics or religion at their Thanksgiving table. Most said that discussing either at the table is a big NO...NO ! This year I was a guest at another home, so I said little.
..But with my own direct descendants and our usual thanksgiving table, with my children, grandchildren and their spouses, we talk politics and religion quite freely...but then, such discussions are an echo chamber.
I believe I could have freely spoken the same at the table yesterday..but that's not for a guest to do.
