Context, Context Context.


I am neither supportive of nor against any political candidate. Yesterday however we saw the most egregious and illustrative event in recent News reporting. People took 1/2 of what was said and made it the story. This is alarming and foolish. Note the word that was not reported "Until" I am not sure how to solve the issue at hand but it would be nice if we could actually respond to all that is said and not edit something to fit our emotional preferences.

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States UNTIL our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.
Ok, so maybe it was inarticulate but how can we ever have a discussion with one another over the things if we are not willing hear or see the whole STATEMENT or issue???????????????????????
CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT!!!
