20: Flag Flying

I received a note from Jessi, who’s farming in West Michigan, asking for my thoughts on how farming/rural living attracts very liberal and very conservative folks.  She writes, “I've just been processing a lot of thoughts about neighborliness and civility in the face of seeing neighbors show more extremist views and actions during these hard times.”  Jesse wonders if there’s a way to navigate and stay true to your beliefs while being civil.   

I had some other projects I had to work on, so I didn’t schedule my response to Jessi until this week.  

And whoa.  What a week to try and answer this question….
