Neighbors’ political differences don’t show signs of strife

By both neighbors’ accounts, the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses competition began on Howard Lehr’s yard in Jamaica Plain.

Lehr, an independent voter, put up a small campaign sign to show his support for Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.

In the era of the trumped up battles of Fox vs. MSNBC, Pelosi vs. Boehner, McConnell vs. Reid, and red states vs. blue states, it's good to remember that the vast majority of us treat each other with respect and still believe in civil discourse and democracy. Sadly, like a mis-behaving child at a birthday, the ususal voices of rancor and division carry-on demanding attention, while the rest just want to get on with the party. Today, please jjust turn off the radio and TV, step back, take a deep breath, and then go out and vote for the candidates of your choice.
