One of the responsibilities of all of the political representatives of the nation (local, state, or federal) is to address the concerns of their constituents at town hall meetings. Most times these are amicable affairs. However, there are occasions when the people want explanations for why the people they elect are not following their wishes. These, of course, can create tense moments. It does not mean that our elected officials should avoid these events or ignore the people that come to them. Even if their anger is misplaced, they deserve to be heard. Nine times out of ten, people will be satisfied if they are being given thoughtful and Honest responses. Avoiding them just makes the matter worse.
