The Other Side of the Table: Recent Episodes
Jake
In the realistic world we live in, there are many issues that are caught in grey areas, making the “right” and “wrong” increasingly unclear. Both political sides have personal opinions that sometimes create hostility to others who may not see the same shades of grey they do. To find an example of this rift of opinions, one must look no further than most dinner tables. From “The Other Side of the Table,” we hope to bring together the differing views of the everyday voter to discuss the differences and find compromises. Though all theoretical, we hope to explore issues to create understanding.
