My  biggest  wish  for  the  new  year It  seems  that  we  live  in  a  time  of  extremes.  Looking  out  our  window  this  morning  at  several  inches  of  fresh  VQRZ , KDG P\ ÂżUVW KRSH RI VRPH cross-Âcountry  skiing.  Then  I  got  to  the  breakfast  table  and  looked  out  the  big  window.  The  precipitation  had  changed  to  an  ugly  mix  of  sleet  and  rain.  The  weather  re- port  on  VPR  was  even  less  hope- ful.  And  I’m  not  speaking  only  of  the  local  forecast  and  the  prospects  of  Nordic  ski- ing.  The  meteo- rologist  spoke  of  extreme  weather  all  over  the  country.  While  a  shot  of  cold  momentarily  slapped  the  North- east,  some  places  in  the  country  were  experiencing  record-Âsetting  heat,  and  still  elsewhere  unusually  strong  and  damaging  storms.  This  is  a  Super  El  Nino  year.  We  have  the  strongest  El  Nino  condi- WLRQV LQ WKH 3DFLÂżF 2FHDQ LQ KDOI D century,  with  the  effects  perhaps  in- WHQVLÂżHG E\ FOLPDWH FKDQJH ([WUHPH weather  is  the  theme. And  that,  it  seems,  is  also  the  met- aphor  for  so  many  other  things  in  the  country.  We  are  growing  increasingly  polarized.  I  read  a  recent  report  about  the  current  front-Ârunners  in  both  ma- jor  political  parties.  Being  “front- runnersâ€?  means  the  polls  show  the  highest  percentage  of  expected  votes  cast  in  their  favor.  But  the  same  two  candidates  also  have  the  highest  dis- approval  ratings.  People  either  love  these  candidates  or  hate  them.  There  doesn’t  appear  to  be  much  modera- tion.  Which  is  to  say,  candidates  and  positions  of  moderation  don’t  seem  to  do  well  in  the  world  today.  Just  how  far-Âreaching  this  po- larization  —  and,  some  would  say,  hostility  —  is,  and  how  deeply  it  has  permeated  our  culture,  struck  home  for  me  in  a  new  way  this  summer.  I  avoid  political  discussions  on  social  media.  They  tend  to  be  venues  for  ranting  and  abusive  language,  with  little  listening  or  reasoned  discourse.  The  occasional  thoughtful  voices  get  shouted  down  and  drowned  out.  (See  Dickerson,  Page  1B)

It’s  against  the  law  to  discriminate  when  advertising  housing.
Particularly  on  sites  like  Craigslist.
