So I did a survey and was asked about politics.  What surprised me was less the discussion & more the after-discussion.  Politics is personal.  If you end up going into a room and are asked questions as individuals in a group then you’ve got to be vulnerable.  After the session and the sharing that took place every man in the room exited without saying a word to one another; no shaking hands; no good-byes; no exchange of emails, phone numbers or very many glances.  It’s the weirdest thing to experience that level of sharing end with nothing socially impactful.
