Some time ago, my daughters came up with the idea of a “CHILL” sign, to be retrieved and waved when the political discussions get too heated at family gatherings. Last time we were with the extended family, I had a vigorous but civil discussion with my more-liberal uncle about Iraq. The daughter farther down the table thought we were arguing, and wrote a CHILL sign on a napkin. The daughter sitting near us responded with a napkin stating “They’re just discussing”. We then put the two together for a “CHILL — They’re just discussing” display…. I rather like the idea of keeping both signs handy, and deploying one or both as conditions warrant.
