RED AND BLUE READING

Fascinating graphic of how hermetically sealed we are becoming one from another. We don’t even read the same books any more, depending on our blue-red identity. I agree with Jonah that there’s nothing wrong with a divided country. It can be fun! But a divided country where both sides don’t even talk to one another? That’s a little more worrying. One side benefit of my raising gay issues on this blog strikes me as being exactly that conversational clash. I understand why most people avoid it – it’s grueling to be in the middle of the vortex. But it’s important too. And increasingly rare.
