Common Sense Governance

A social commentary about the impact of modernity on our conversations about sex, religion, and politics. Maybe what we need now, more than ever, is to relearn how to have a conversation and find middle ground away from the extremes? The author reaches back to his experiences growing up an 80s kid, being the son of a bartender, and early beginnings in an economically challenged and multicultural life. In a world that's changed from touch-tone phones to low-ping satellite internet in the palm of everyone's hand, rapid development in social media and unlimited information present challenges that create gaps in how we communicate, how we perceive each other, and how we decide on the important issues that govern our lives. With some inspiration from life experiences, classical liberalism, history, comedy, and the parts of the Bible highlighted in Red, the author creates a relational experience in the reader that urges a return to normalcy in our exchanges with each other. Let's get our sense of unity back.
