Is It Hard to Have a Civil Conversation?

i don't think there was some golden age where we could have these wonderful, calm discuss s about politics. And i can see why doing a show like common sense may not seem like the happiest prospect in the world for you when anything you're going to say is going to ga yelld at whell. To be someone who tries to see both sides is seen by both sides as somehow validating or enabling evil on the other side. Well, that's not the world i inhabit, right? We started that programm as a way to find things that we had in common so that we could solve common problems.
