Walking away is not an option... dialogue must prevail.
"A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with."
- Kenneth A. Wells
"I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace."
- Helen Keller
A conversation with my Chicklet on the way to the polls:
"Mommy, you'll vote for the one who wants to hire more doctors and improve education, right?""Where did you hear about this, sweetie?""On TV""And that's important?""Very important.""What do you think I should do?""Don't vote for Harper, he's a snob."Canada... you are NOT smarter than my fifth grader.
