Talking politics isn’t always a good idea
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
During this time of heated political discussions I was just wondering about something: What if you found out that your doctor, dentist, or some other person who provides a service for you, had a political opinion that was totally opposite of yours?
Would you care? Would it even matter?
I ask because while I find the matter of politics fascinating, I am also finding that I make a point of not sharing my opinions with people whose services I employ. As a matter of fact I have a strict policy of not mixing business and pleasure or politics for that matter.
For me, my physician and dentist, aren’t my friends. They simply provide an extremely important service.
And besides, I kind of don’t want to know if we differ in our political views. It’s just an unchartered territory that I’d rather leave unchartered.
What about you? Have you ever ventured outside your box to discuss politics with someone who provides a service? If you did was there regret or relief?
