I was reading a story about a father and son that were at the complete opposite spectrum of politics, dad being a Republican and son a Democrat, and how discussions about politics nearly ruined their relationship.

In the story was this little gem... Liberals love humanity but hate people. Conservatives love people but hate humanity. The author brought it up after explaining how he hated his father's right wing thinking, but remembers many times how his father would volunteer to help others often. I found that to make a lot of sense.

I wish I could find that story, or give you the month and year that it was published, but I don't have the magazine...it was in the doctor's office this afternoon.

In the end, the son found that politics was mush less important that quality time with his father.

A touching story, indeed, but the line above in itallics really jumped out to me.

What's your take on it?
