Column: Let's talk turkey (not politics) (via latimesopinion)
It’s intriguing to consider those memories of childhood that are seemingly random, yet remain vivid and meaningful long into adulthood.
My awareness of anti-Catholic animus came from an earlier random memory, one that was likely my introduction to politics: As a 5-year-old, I’d once crouched out of sight of some adult relatives gathered around a table, eavesdropping as they bellyached about how the Democratic presidential nominee, John F. Kennedy, probably would lose simply because he was a Catholic. And Irish, like most of us.
Mostly, however, I loved the license that journalism gave me to be a busybody, asking the very sort of personal questions I’d been warned against. I didn’t want to take sides; I wanted to understand how and why people came to believe what they do, and to share that insight with readers and viewers., as the saying goes, and yet no matter how divisive the subject, for years my discussions with politicians and voters from all points of the spectrum were enjoyable and instructive.
