I honestly try to steer away from any “political” statements on this this blog. (For that, go to FB or PLUS… 😉 )

But THIS interview with Thomas Friedman is simply outstanding. It’s so challenging, I want to share it as widely as possible. Please take the time to listen to these thoughts from Thomas Friedman.

WARNING: Here is my challenge to you. If you are conservative or liberal, you may have already decided whether to listen or not simply based on the name “Friedman” and what you think of his other writing. My contention is this: this is our exact problem in the country today. We make our assumptions and close our ears too quickly. While I have deep disagreements with some of the things Friedman says in his columns, THIS session is incredible and worth your time.

Please listen.
