Because it needs to be said

Make it personal
Someone I respect very much has been echoing something I read recently in one of my favourite books. The personal is political. our choices do make political statements, whether we like that or not. But also, all too often, sweeping generalisations and statements about groups of people are justified by saying "It's not personal". Well, I'm ( Read more... ) -
