Are you dreading those inevitable arguments?  This article provides some perspective on: The weird and wonderful  ways our political and religious views evolve,  including: The Happy Face Version The Waterfall Version Why we inevitably clash  when we try to argue about politics or religion Why it’s pointless to argue  about politics or religion How you might become an  amateur anthropologist  and try to  see into the “cloud” of personal experiences  that make up the other guy’s political or religious vision Specific suggestions and Challenges  for dealing with your next political or religious argument Click here to download the entire 9-page PDF (with 6 graphic illustrations). ( Note : This article, largely because of its several somewhat-complicated & whimsical graphics, didn’t seem to lend itself to the usual audio podcast or blog post.  The PDF file presents all these elements in a single, easy to read document. Hope you like it!) ==== Related ==== [YouTube Video] Curate Your Own News: Why & How The WORTH SHARING “Peace of Mind” Collection
