It has been said that there are three subjects that should never be discussed in polite conversations; sex, religion and politics. These are among my favorite topics of conversation. How else can one really get to know another unless one addresses these topics?These are also the topics that we most need to discuss.
Politics in the USA has never been as dysfunctional as it presently is. It is absolutely essential that the citizenry of this country carry on reasonable conversation so that we may rescue our democracy.
Religion and religious intolerance has perhaps been the greatest driver of conflict that the world has ever known. Religion with its adherence to dogmas has also kept humanity mired in superstition and has inhibited the development of rationality and science. If humanity can differentiate between religion and spirituality, we may be able to mitigate the adverse effects that has plagued us for millennium.
Human overpopulation is creating dangerous strains on the planet's ecosystem and drives us toward wars for remaining and diminishing resources. Sex is what creates more humans so it's probably important to talk a little more about sex and our attitudes regarding sex.
Money can be a taboo topic too. That's going to be one hell of a long and complicated conversation. Do you know the Secret of Oz.? Nice thing about that is that it's not really a secret. You don't have to go to some secret society Bohemian Grove thing.
