When we lived abroad, I lived an entirely apolitical life. I had no opportunity (nor desire) to speak about the politics of our host country and no need to think about the politics half a world away in America. But since we have been back, (especially this last 12 months) it seems to be the only topic of conversation. I have been thinking about it a lot and finally came up with these 6 passages to help me sort out how to deal with these conversations and my own responsibility.
