Arguments are so often found in politics.
Lately I have heard about our local candidates who have been squaring off with each other from behind the microphone in an attempt to weaken their opponent and gain the upper hand.
It disappointments me to hear this. This is not smart politics.
I am more open to accepting the point of someone else if this point is made within a civil and respectful conversation.
