A friend told me about a recent family gathering that went terribly wrong. Twenty-five extended family members got together for a backyard barbecue to celebrate several of their birthdays, as they did a few times a year.
Normally these get-togethers were pure fun and fellowship. But this particular event was not normal, beginning to sour when Uncle Vince, known to all as loving but loudly opinionated, mentioned a news report he’d heard that morning about government immigration policy. Vince proceeded to share his own perspective on the matter, forcefully and authoritatively.
