This week Salon published a great essay by Wil Wheaton about Thanksgiving with his family. It serves as an excellent model for being mature when your parents' political views clash with your own; if you've ever been tempted to storm out and drink schnapps behind the garage until it's time for dinner, this might help. The politics in question was the execution of Tookie Williams, and over on Wil's blog there's an excerpt, if you aren't subscribed/don't want to get a day pass to Salon. The upshot? Sometimes, it's ok to put the politics aside. And DON'T YELL.
